Tranquility

I have found a place of contentment 
Hidden in the wispy recesses of my mind
Where I can dream and find sweet peace
Leaving life's chaos and turmoil behind

Wandering through this tranquil place
A cool breeze is gently blowing
Beside a glade where flowers grow
An enchanting stream is flowing 

My heart and mind so completely free
The delicate wind caresses my face
And the whispery rustling of the stream
All hold the serenity that I embrace

Snowy, white clouds billow overhead
Against the background of an azure sky
My brief euphoria has quickened my soul
And I reluctantly bid my place goodbye

Taking one last long and wistful gaze
My spirits high, I must return to reality
For when anguish comes I can again retreat
To my secret place of idyllic tranquility
