Quiet Waters

 Quiet Waters, by Dennis Browne

There are days in my life
Where the stress
The frustration
Build up to such a point
I just need tranquility

Come to me, he says
I am all about calm
I am all about quiet
Peace
Paddle beside me
Next to fresh beaches
Driftwood placed like sculptures
Feel the stress leave you
As you paddle next to me
Listen to the water
Dripping from your paddle
Feel the breeze
In your face
As time stops
As you paddle next to me

Look to the left and you might see
A dall porpoise perhaps, maybe a curious seal
Feel refreshed yet?
Keep paddling
Nothing to fear out here
These waters
Were prepared for you
Come revitalize
Come paddle beside me
On my quiet waters
You will be in need of nothing
Only what is beside you
On these quiet waters
As you paddle next to me
