Writer’s Getaway

Step out on a smooth deck, warmed by the sun
Breath in the fresh, lake air
The water glistens in the soft morning light
And a breeze teases the trees on the shore
Not a motion in sight in this peaceful lake life
The world wakes up slowly
You sit in your chair with coffee in hand
and smile at a tranquil land
The lapping of water and morning songbirds
Greet the rising sun
Lean back in your chair and prop up your feet
Have a notebook there in your lap
Within the peace, you welcome your dreams
Of story to put on the page
Away from bustle of city street life
Away from pressure and schemes
Take stories by the hand and write them again
On the deck of a lake in quiet and peace
