Contemplation

When I'm alone, I feel the peace.
Tensions slowly seek release.
Into the quiet of the day,
My cares take wing and fly away.
I hear the sounds so often hid
Beneath the noise we live amid.
I listen to the steady talk
Of our faithful mantel clock.
The snoring of our family dog,
Who lies here like a chocolate log.
Serenity invades my bones
And speaks to me in dulcet tones.
My mind is free.  I have some time
To contemplate the world of rhyme!


Betty Lou Hebert

Betty,
Sounds of the home that we usually can't hear, unless we're alone
This is a lovely poem
It reminds me of a childhood book "The indoor noisy book"
THank you
Liz

I like this poem Betty and I love your dog, who lies there like a chocolate log.  Love, Joyce

Liz:  Thanks.  I'm seldom alone and it hit me a couple of days ago, when I was, how many sounds I could hear that I wasn't able to most of the time. The house has a totally different atmosphere.

Joyce:  Thanks and glad you liked it.  Our chocolate Lab, named Toby, does resemble a log when he's stretched out with his paws tucked under him. You'd like him as he's a real sweetie!
