Moultry Creek

Down by moultry creek, 

where the gators creep beneath 

the peaks of the reeds,

And the sun glints off of the 

Water within,

so many pearls of the sea

You may find me sitting, free

amongst the bushes and the grass

Just trying to unwind from this 

World which moves so fast

There's a little dam beyond

 from a nearby man-made pond

stippled palm trees swaying,

wind picking up their fronds

This is my place of peace

From the war inside my head

The insanities, calamities

Which fill my mind with dread

And the Cardinals, they play

Flitting by just over head

Whenever I feel overwhelmed

I wish I was at the creek instead
