Beneath an oak tree
Watching the sinking sky
Family laughter behind me
Caressing me with love
Geese leave trails
In the tranquil waters
Sea grass floats with the waves
And my troubled heart is stilled
Standing without feet
In the muddy shore
She smiles at me and giggles
As the tide holds her prisoner
I smile in return
And look about the horizon
Thinking of what's to come
Despite where I've been
Worries and doubts
Eat at my soul
My future is unsure,
And I am confused
I am secure here
Nothing can change
If only for a moment
I am at peace
