Solitude By the Reverie
A lover of freedom from the chase of the rat race that often bound him in chains, Mr. Peace was born in the deep south where the lack of quietness is a major emergency, and musical notes by cricket and bullfrog sounds of the night are the genuine state of expectation. He later migrated to a big northern city of heavy traffic, horns, and siren sounds of the noisy variety. After several years he returned to Dixie but did not stay long, lest he should be faced with possible destitution. He decided to move out west where eagles nest but struggled to find a solitudinous place of abode. So of to the ocean he would often retreat and frequented the parks to obtain surrenity. Distractions of all kinds never ceased, but he learned to 'steal away' to places most divine. It was calmness, quietness, and solitude that Mr. Peace sought, not a great escape from humankind. So he mastered the craft of inner peace, never compromising his love for and time with humanity.
