My Peace Nook

That’s one of my many working places,

in the house.

When I feel like I need

fresh air, birdsong, and blue sky,

calming ambiance, some inspiration,

I go there, the northwest corner.

Private under the big walls,

a meditating Buddha figurine

my personal shrine.

I sit there surrounded by

plants of different kinds,

foliage and flowers.

Now arugula and nasturtium

blooming; bees hum.

Stress crumbles, tranquility arrives.

I write my passing thoughts

all the social hurts.

It's so healing, restorative.

I am glad to have made that

secret peace nook.

I encourage you, to create your own,

an escape from the

daily humdrum, pandemonium.
