Peaceful

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Oct 08, 2021

Peaceful.
Tune
out.
Turn
off.
Walk away.
Visit
serenity.
Walk
the
woods.
Kayak
the pond.
Enjoy
the ocean.
Leave
technology
behind.
Sounds
of silence.
Cleansing
the mind,
easing
the soul.
Scraping
off the
crud.
Cleaning
soiled
fragments
from
the being.
Calming the
din.
Smoothing
the frayed
edges of
this place.
This time.
Teasing
sanity back.
Back from
the abyss.
Back
to a
calmer
state.
Keep from
losing
stable
ground.
Shake out
the toxic.
Follow
the light,
the sounds.
Quiet
scenes.
Offset the
crazies.
Find
peaceful
places
to rest.
