Being able to control both the sensory influences and the people you share and are WILLING to make concessions for, is a liberating and empowering moment.

Greatly scripted to let the reader experience the freedom through your words.

An excellent poem about quiet. I penned one this morning, as a matter of fact, about the very same thing. As poets/writers cutting out all the distraction is a blessing.

    A blessing, indeed! So good when it is in our control. It is almost 2 p.m. here and I haven't eaten, bathed nor dressed yet because I am so inspired to review and write today . . . and no one here to chastise me. Thank you for reading and commenting. Blessing to you and your family. livelylinda

    Got a chuckle out of your note, linda. "I haven't eaten, bathed nor dressed yet because I am so inspired to review and write today..."

    It is the truth. It is now 3:30 p.m. and I may remain in the pj's all day today! Linda

    Hey--why bother to change now? LOL. We deserve a day off once in a while.

I love the artwork you posted to go with your poem
I could sense the peace and calmness every where. Every Jesus had a secret and quiet place.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi, Linda,

It would appear as if the move was GREAT! (*,*) Good, I'm glad. Peace and quiet are very nice, and as you say, a little music, what's not to love?? NOTHING!

Enjoy.... Tranquil photo too.

Cheers & Blessings
Keep Smilin'... Jax (*.*)

    Jax: the move was overdue and I actually didn't realize how stressed I had become until I was wrapped in the comfort of MY new home. Thanks for reading. Linda

enjoying the quiet
of no criticism
a much healthier diet ... beautiful. Happy for you, Linda.

The picture is exquisite and filled me with an overwhelming sense of peace. Obviously your present/new state of mind.

My mom always says, "When God closes a door, he opens a window". I think he's opened a lovely window for you.

Take it easy. Thinking of you. Praying for you.

Love,

Sonali xxx

reply by the author on 28-Nov-2014
    NO, it is NOT 60 degrees! We have had about three freezes already. There is frost on the window pane each morning. About a week ago it was hot and humid and I had the ac on but now the heat is on. I would not be surprise if we actually got a little snow one morning! Oh, and I don't have a snow shovel!! NOW, you can laugh! Linda

A sublime description of a peaceful place. Four good stanzas with rhyme form in stanzas 2, 3 and 4 in good aba form. In stanza 1 by transposing lines 1 and 2, with a tiny edit this stanza would also be aba form. Just a thought not a criticism of a very tranquil enjoyable read. Warm regards Dorothy x

    Thanks for reading, Dorothy. I thought I wrote each stanza in aba form . . . will have to go check on that. Linda
