A Measure of Peace

There is no loneliness in the forest
Birds flitting about, squirrels playing
Noises from every direction, insects
And deer and all the creatures playing
Walking amongst the trees is home
There is no loneliness on the water
Whether a cool mountain stream or
A river moving urgently along its way
Serenity and comfort flow with the water
Bringing a measure of peace to the day
There is no loneliness in nature


Just Great

They ask, how are you doing?
But they don't expect an answer
They do not want you to tell the real
Feelings and thoughts that emanate
From your lonely yet busy brain
So you flash a smile, the one
That is masked but once seen
Says that all is well and eliminates
Further questions as you confidently
Answer....Just great!
