in this place of tree-lined silences
where Nature speaks for days
the cares of the world
fall away,
amidst the piney green
and deep blues
of sea and sky
there is a gentle peace -
if you want it -
it is not an escape,
the world is too small
to fully disappear;
this place is part of me
I have denied it too long
Makes me think of Orr’s Island
That’s where I was when I wrote it!
