PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Tranquil and serene,  

I linger in the stillness,  

reading the book of fate,  

sipping from my cup of coffee,  

as a brisk breeze whispers  

of the promise of tomorrow.  

The trees stand bare,  

elongated shadows stretch,  

sharp edges contour the landscape,  

while the rocking chair sways,  

melody soothing my restless soul.  

The time has come  

to face the music—  

the discord of dissent,  

tears mingling with fears,  

sadness weaving through despair.  

Does it truly matter?  

He who claims to know  

may simply be deceiving,  

yet as long as I possess  

pencil, paper, and guitar,  

with a will that burns bright,  

and a muse that stirs within,  

I will embrace my defining moments!
