A Peaceful Place

Screaming and yelling around the house
My mother,
My father,
My sister,
All has become to much
I need a peaceful place to sit
The boat landing
Just across the street
Where The water is so calm
And The trees are so still,
A place where I can sit
On an old wooden bench
I admire the loon floating on the lake
It sees me sitting here
And I feel as though it understands
The deer drinking water not far away
Minding its own business and letting me mind mine
I am finally starting to feel at peace
I look around
I feel the quiet
No children crying
No mothers sighing
All is calm to me
I feel as though no one else matters
A strong gust of wind blows
Rustling the trees
a boat speeds by
Breaking the calmness on the water
My cell phone is ringing
Disturbing the peace
I realize that nothing can be peaceful forever
Something will break the spell
But it is the short moments of tranquility
That keeps us all sane
So I put a smile on my face
And head on home

Indeed, 'the short moments of tranquillity that keep us sane'. Thank goodness for opportunities of respite and places of stillness, even temporary, and poetry like yours to remind us.
