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!
