Poem: In a Tranquil Place

Somewhere in a tranquil place
come wind and water softly spoken
where a dawning sun bathes
forest to farthest horizon
and the echoes of nature
stir behind the world’s façade.

Leaves falling like feathers
finding a touch of earth
where bird songs weave
under a blue of sky.
With daylight racing
to its waning hour
another time one threshold home
somewhere in a tranquil place.
