My Reality

How fragile we find our sanity

As we wake from dreams and face our day

Navigating our reality

Stumbling blindly as we find our way.

Or is it just me?

Am I the only one that feels this way?

Wanting to be free,

But free of what… it’s hard to say.

From our indoor verandah

Over breakfast, I enjoy the views

My thoughts stray and meander

And I try to avoid the world news.

I love the peace and quiet

Of our small mountain town

Such solace - you can’t buy it

But world problems make me frown.

So I get into my writing

While ignoring the internet

‘Don’t want to read about the fighting

‘Don’t want to worry and fret.

I say a prayer - it’s all I can do

Whatever shall be shall be

I write another page or two

And my writing sets me free.
