Inner Peace

Inner Peace 

When wild winds blow across the bay
And windows rattle incessantly,
When grey clouds obscure the sun by day
My mood decreases proportionately,
There comes a time to hideaway
In a special place, just for me.

My tranquil place between the stairs
Is where I sit to read a book
And forget all my earthly cares.
Relaxing in my little nook
I travel to far off places there,
In my mind, where e’er I may be ‘took’.

I can meditate sometimes all right
And just not think of anything.
I can do needlework, or I might
Do absolutely zilch, nothing,
Lost in time, at peace, pure delight,
Relaxed, just enjoying being!
