~~~ PEACE ~~~

A quiet place, a bubbling stream
a place where I can go to dream

Trees so tall, with rustling leaves
birds that sing sweet melodies

Quiet moments, sitting here
I catch a glimpse of a white-tailed deer

Two young fawns soon come her way
for a drink of cool water, on this warm spring day

Wildflowers dot the timber floor
a mushroom among them, makes me look for more.

I gather my lair in the warm sunbeams
and know I'll return to that bubbling stream

Where the rest of the world seems far away
Even on a busy day !!
