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
