MY SECRET PLACE
When I have trouble sleeping
which to be honest happens more than not.
I close my eyes
and listen.
After a while, I hear
the rush of water
along beautifully colored rocks.
I hear birds chirping
and smell
freshly cut grass.
When I open my inner eyes
I see
beauty.
Many colored trees.
Grasses of various colors.
Squirrels dancing around
looking for nuts.
I see fish lazily jumping
And birds watching them.
But mostly importantly
I see
Peace.
No stressful worries,
Needs,
Or wants.

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as the sunshine into trees. The winds will blow their freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off you as autumn leaves." - John Muir

This is great and a wonderful place
