Wandering Listlessly


Wandering listlessly

I'm searching for a place to write
Where voices are hushed
Whispers unheard
The outside world a low hum
Be still, ticking inside my head
Secret garden
Library of labyrinths
Lapping waves on the shore
Wooded cabin
My elusive nook
Where I curl up with a book
Hide me away, at least for a day
Silence...
Peaceful thoughts set
Adrift

Bish, I think you may live there? A hideaway on that lovely island of yours. *bliss* ;)

Lovely poem! We writers all need that quiet place. Sometimes it's our own minds that are too noisy, worrying or planning or whatnot.

Beautiful poem. I'm not a poet though I dabbled in 6th grade and became totally discouraged by obnoxious teachers in the 8th grade.
By the way, I'm running a contest.

Joanna, you lucky lady! Enjoy your lovely trip away. ;)

Terry, thanks sweet! Totally agree, sometimes there's too much noise in our own heads.

KarenG, thank you! Glad you enjoyed. ;))

Nancy, thank you, I guess this poem is reflective of my mood today. *deep sigh*

This poem is beautiful--and so true! I'm on the hunt for a coffee shop like this :)
Hi Talei ... I could have sworn I commented before - perhaps I forgot to click on post comment!
I love the poem... and I really understand where you are coming from! Well done.
:D om

How wishful and dreamy.
Perhaps, if you can write that way you found it.
;)

Meredith, thanks! Coffee shops are always good hideaways...esp in the cold months.

Dom, thank you. Good to hear I'm not alone! ;)

Elaine, thanks so much. I wish, some days I find it; others are wanting. ;)
