Retreat

Secluded in a cottage
close to the lake and pine trees
is where I'd like to be
now.

Far away from the
endless chatter of a restless soul
and back into the arms of my quiet love
where I find peace.

Opening the book
to enter another story,
I shed away the stress
that's followed me.

Renewed for the journey
I begin anew,
ready to create a life of
love and light.
