Come sit awhile
Relax after a long day
Solitude awaits
As nature surrounds you
With evening breezes
That carry cares away
Bringing joy to your ears
The lullabies of songbirds
Cuddling their young in their nests

Haven of Rest
Come sit awhile
On the comfy garden bench,
Neath’ the tall pine trees.
Let the sun melt away your cares.
Close your eyes and rest.
Nature’s tranquility
Will refresh your soul,
And you will leave renewed
To face another day of life.

The Bench
I sit here and wait to see
Who will visit me
Maybe a bee
Or leaf fallen from a tree
There is a possiblity
It may be a dignitary
On this bright Spring day
Or a tired child at play
Come what may
Night or day
All are welcome
Not just some
So whether King or Bum
I don’t care where you’re from
If you’re passing by
Please sit and say “Hi”
Skeltonic Verse
Bench of Time
No where to turn
Faced with a decision
Up against a wall
Inspiration waning fast
Well worn ideas fail
Dreams falling between the cracks
Into wasted piles
To sit in dark dormancy
Waiting for the winds of hope

Society’s Bench
Charming bench,
A place to rest
In quiet peace,
Never used.
Though many pass by everyday,
None have time.

On My Daily Walk
White roses greet
Squirrel and birds in a tree
Charming bench for rest
Many delights for my soul
God offered me today

Renewal
After a short walk
Peaceful place to rest
Counting my blessings
In the shelter of the vine
I renew my strength and hope

What Once Was…
I took this photo at a house that had been foreclosed on. It prompted this poem.
