Recovery

There is a place of solace, A meadow near a mill, Where cranes come to gather And take their bounty fill. Where gentle walks pass the time And fears are gone away, Honeysuckle grows just fine Its scent to parcel the day. A moment with the ginger muse Will rest your weary heart, Soft waters will be flowing, With their wings to start. Across that pond there lies a walk Overgrown with petals bright, There you'll find me only when The shadows turn to light. I oft come to this sacred place When I am torn in two, I am still sitting here today, Begging to be with you.

Wow Alexis! This is beautiful - the place you describe is sure to take the blues away. In the turmoil that is living it is good to just take a step back and breathe in a neutral place. Very well written!
