Tranquility of Trees

I was upset by everything that was happening in my life,

It was all so much out of my control.  

I didn’t know where to run to,

I couldn’t believe I was running at all.  

It seemed that it helped me to think,

Just wanting to get away from it all.  

I ran blindly in a direction and came upon a gate.  

It was an old gate attached to a crumbling stone wall,

Both barely standing the test of time.  

The atmosphere seemed bleak but it seemed to relieve some of my tensions too.  

I peered through the worn bars and saw that the wall enclosed a graveyard.  

It was beautiful in a way,

How the light illuminated various gravestones through the branches of the trees.  

No one was around and there was a tranquility that permeated the air.
