Bellowing horns of discontent;
Traffic lights
of merging dominance ;
all racing a mailbox’s welcome
“payments past due.”
Sometimes I forget
all I ever need do is close my eyes.
For in the darkness
I know that I am;
unnecessary answers
to unasked questions
release me.
Alone in this silence
a landscape embraces me:
Below the tree line
yet high above a laked valley
of warm breezes and dappled sun shine,
I sit
secluded
watching a pair of eagle’s soaring circles
going nowhere;
I am one with this land.
A red light turns to green
as I open my eyes.

Yes, an escape from life, heals the soul from death. We all need a quite place to ponder our thoughts alone. And what a better place than with nature. (LISA)
