Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Peace and Quiet

In the suburbs and the country
When the night arrives,
You can feel the darkness
Where the silence thrives.

For a city gal,
Used to lights and noise,
You would think such peace
Would bring endless joys.

Though my sleep improves
When the quiet reigns,
There is something lost
Which negates the gains.

Though it might sound nuts
(And I'm sure it does),
In the burbs I miss
All that city buzz.

Robert Johnson November 18, 2014 at 5:28 PM When differences battle between ebb and flow. The best we can do is know what we know. Survival will win if we learn to accept. Our loneliness where we are so inept. Peace. :) Please don't get a headache trying to figure this one out. :)
