Park Bench Repair

I sit alone upon this bench at night
Escape the daily grind within my life
Surrounded by the silence, I feel free
And smile because this bench is my repair.
The cool night air awakens inner thoughts
Relieves the tension of my busy day
In peaceful solitude I feel refreshed
Then leave my park bench, knowing I'll return.
