There Is a Place~

There is a place I wander

Whenever I am filled

With emotions I do not

Understand or will.

It is a place where water

Sings a soothing psalm,

And sunlight flickers off

The surface, still and calm.

Summer breezes shoo away

Grievances and doubt,

And surety comes home to me

As songbirds flit about.

Ripples on the surface

Represent my heart

Beating with a solemn strength

As home again I start.
