The Quiet Place

In the quiet place of dreams, Where the only sounds are light, Nature whispers, softly gleams, Breathing softly: all is right.

Underneath the peaceful trees, Where the rivers gently flow, Every heart feels nature’s ease, In the warmth of sunlit glow.

Here my spirit finds its home, In the beauty of the day, And through vast and open loam, Life and love will find its way.
