A Peaceful Place
Screaming and yelling around the house
My mother,
My father,
My sister,
All has become to much
I need a peaceful place to sit
The boat landing
Just across the street
Where The water is so calm
And The trees are so still,
A place where I can sit
On an old wooden bench
I admire the loon floating on the lake
It sees me sitting here
And I feel as though it understands
The deer drinking water not far away
Minding its own business and letting me mind mine
I am finally starting to feel at peace
I look around
I feel the quiet
No children crying
No mothers sighing
All is calm to me
I feel as though no one else matters
A strong gust of wind blows
Rustling the trees
a boat speeds by
Breaking the calmness on the water
My cell phone is ringing
Disturbing the peace
I realize that nothing can be peaceful forever
Something will break the spell
But it is the short moments of tranquility
That keeps us all sane
So I put a smile on my face
And head on home
