A Peaceful Moment in a Rural Landscape
Bare feet on the sand
I adore this piece of land
As family and friends reunite
It’s a time of so-called delight
Silence settles in
My inward journey begins
Sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch
There’s no such thing as a rush
Oh, wait! I’ve got a plight
Where skies within my sight
I am in a mosquito fight
We’re friends until they bite
Repellent applied to my skin
I don’t seem to win
Sleepy, Sleepy, I start to yawn
Nighty, Nighty, see you again at dawn
(April 2022)
Wakey Wakey, your soul is free
Tiny pieces are made of three
Mercy, Trusty, O, Pliancy
A key we hold to property
Nothing is meant to be fleed
As we learn to some degree
Gloomy, stormy is temporary
Even your mind might disagree
Wakey Wakey, a doorbell rings
Honey coming; your heart racing
From miles apart to fonder hearts
My love for you does always last
A melody of nature sings
A bird chirping a wind blowing
I feel as if I have got wings
flying back to where we met in Spring
(April 2022)
