This Place I Go Everyone must find a place where they can go to cope With all the trials life will bring, somewhere that gives them hope Solace sought where peace abounds is where my thoughts will flow I find release and self content within this place I go The stress free shelter that I’ve found where I can meditate Is somewhere I can always go that’s calming and sedate Inside a dreamers mind resides a world that few may know It's here my soul can find itself within this place I go Without a way to find relief the spirit soon may break For there are always times that bring much more than one can take When the stress of troubled times and storms of life may blow They will never reach me here within this place I go Never knowing what will be, I’ll enter in the fray Facing all life’s challenges until the close of day A peaceful warm and calm abode is waiting for me though For I have found my Shangri-la within this place I go |

SAVED!!!! Steve, you think and do as I do! ~ You expressed my sentiments exactly! It's amazing, but we carry that "Shang-ri-la" around with us at all times. All we have to do is meditate and enter that peaceful place. Love and Peace to you! Linda |

I am so glad that you have this beautiful place to go and shake off the stress of the day. And, I am selfish enough to be glad that you share this with us through your poetry. I am a fan. Alison |

Dear Stephen, thank you for sharing your secret for bearing stress and find peace and tranquility. You have written a very uplifting and significant piece of poetry. I too know of this place, where recharging the batteries is possible and more than that ... we find ourselves. Love, Margherita |

sewasham - finding a peaceful place is difficult, but it can be done. I see you have found yours. Also, I have found a place also... BC |
