The Banks of Serenity

The Banks of Serenity Under the trees and on the river Here I find my rest No voices beckon or holler here It’s just silence of the water The Willows bend towards love The Oaks stand sturdy like men And here I paddle my little boat Away from yanks of mayhem Here in my vessel along side A pad of paper and stylets Drawing the river banks foliage Writing sonnets on summers eve Knowing my trip of peace ~ ends As soon as I dock in a few yards And the bustle and echoes repeat The voices return to anchor Me to The Earth again But, tomorrow will come soon With another journey alone My vessel will be filled again Gliding the serene river of mine Found on the banks of Serenity Stopping anxious time 2016 Bonnie jennings.
