Emile Pinet Poet Free verse

Serene Stillness

When city life morphs
into a cacophony of noises;
splintered sounds levy a toll. 
And anxiety overshadows my reality;
till I'm brought to the edge of tears,
and need to get away from it all.
So, I inevitably turn
to Nature's serene stillness;
to recharge my spirit. 
I'm a people person,
but, at times,
I want to be left alone
with my thoughts;
listening to the mountains speak
in muted sounds of silence. 
Leaving my stress behind;
I seek the isolation of Nature's wilderness,
and go tenting;
in an unimaginably peaceful place 
of quietude, beauty, and solitude.
And there, at night, the stars light up the sky,
bathing me in celestial light,
making me feel insignificant:
and yet, fundamentally connected, somehow.

L Milton Hankins February 22, 2022 at 7:32 PM Incredibly fine imaging, Emile, as usual. I especially can relate, for from time to time, I simply must go to the mountains. The mountains call...and I must go! Exceptional writing, my friend. Best of luck in the contest.
