There is a peaceful place near a quiet stream,
a place I'd really like to see.
It calls my name, haunts my dreams,
a place where one can truly be
at peace with the world, completely free.
I just don't know where it is.
I long to find some place of joy
where meaning resolves life's disarray,
a place where laughter romps and plays,
good neighbors share, their glasses raise
to celebrate these halcyon days.
I just don't know where it is.
But perhaps it's not a place at all.
A darkness stalks these empty days,
taunts me through this wretched haze
where confusion lurks to claim its prey.
I've lost my soul along the way.
And I just don't know where to find it.

I think it may be in your pen
Enjoyed the read
Be mindful of where you tread for one day you just may happen upon such a place. I know I did and I go there in my meditative mind to linger.
It is in the depths of Wales, a valley with a stream which i know both in spate and drought.
Take your mind to a place beside flowing water and relax into whatever is your state of mind.. Do it for real and you will find places which begin to satisfy some of your desires/
That place is there and one day you will find it.
