My Quiet Place

As the alabaster clouds slowly drift away above me
I escape reality
I hear the mother bird calling to her chicks
I hear the monstrous waves crashing down onto the soft sand
I hear children playing in the aquamarine water
Toddlers screaming as they splash in it
I see the shining sun watching down on the water
As it glimmers like a diamond among bland stones
This is my quiet place
Where the winds blow softly 
Nature surrounds me swallowing me up
Few people pass me as I watch and listen to nature 
I sit on a rock 
Smoky, isolated and lifeless
But it calls out to me each time I pass it
This is my quiet place
