Serenity is my portion for M lady Helena

narrative verse

 

Serenity is my portion

 

The last rays of the setting sun

encarnadine the grey stonewalls

 of my small house when day is done.

I watch content as darkness falls.

 

I have an unimpeded view

from where I sit towards the sea.

Each sunset shows me something new

 the darkness holds no threat for me.

 

In fact I crave the quietness.

I choose to live in solitude.

I hate the city’s business

 an anti social attitude?.

 

That may be true I can’t deny

 I do not seek the company

of fellow men and I know why

I hate the close proximity.

 

Of the unthinking bustling crowd

 Who advertise their discontent

 broadcasting random thoughts aloud

By accident without intent.

 

The random thoughts they radiate

 albeit quite unknowingly

 combine together and create

 a standing wave of misery.

 

Perhaps I am too sensitive.

Which would explain my attitude

The reason that I choose to live

in isolated solitude.

 

I’m woken by the rising sun

 which bids me that it’s time to rise

 and greet the new day just begun.

In perfect peace and quietness.

 

The grey stone walls now tinged with gold

I look towards the distant sea

Enjoy the beauty I behold

I am content as I should be.
