Pristine Landscape

Situations come our way
where we don't understand what to say
we sit in silence in our mind
and the words we can't seem to find

Some days we find it smooth
to spill our thoughts and soothe
to do this is when
I find myself again

Today is a quiet one
it's been that way since it begun
I find it challenging to write my lyric
that may sound satiric

I'll rest tonight in deep escape
and tomorrow twill be a pristine landscape

I have learned to take each day as it comes, Angela, and try not to worry about tomorrow; maybe it's one of the benefits of old age :) Regards // paul

I'm trying to learn to take one day at a time. Some days I do okay. Other days, not so much :)

We all face a storm and it's how we deal with it that counts... Some become stronger in adversity, some fall apart... Great message of hope in your sonnet ..

Some days are for introspection--well said, Angela.

We often end up on a barren landscape not knowing what's up ahead but better days are coming with mountains, streams and flowers in abundance. We just have to learn patience. Tom

Yes, there is always tomorrow. But not the the day after. Keep at it. ~~

First off, I'm a big lover of the word 'pristine', happy to see it used in your title and final line. Secondly, loved your rhymes, especially smooth/soothe and lyric/satiric. Thirdly, the wisdom of finding rest and hoping for better tomorrows. Well done.
