If nothing else
You can bank
On some peace
Come day’s end.
On a breath
By the water
When a ripple
Extends.
On a sigh
Of the chest
Born of awe
Seeped with ease.
You can count
On some peace
Come day’s end.
Me, too, please.

I can’t complain, when the temps decide to warm up because, eff it, I am NOT in the mood to walk in this arctic cold, I don’t have too far to walk to get some nice get-away from it all sights…
