Relaxation!




I have a favorite place in the world.
It is not exotic or foreign
But simple and soothing.

In a land of Hodags and paper mills
My paradise beacons me.
There I hear water
lazily lapping against shore
I feel sun rays bronzing my skin
I see large trees and fluffy clouds

This is a place where it is okay to be
Flip-flopped
Non made-up
And care-free

I have a favorite place in the world
It is not exotic or foreign
But simple and soothing
It is home.


***I didn't really have much to write about today. I took those pictures at my favorite place: Hodag Park. The specific favorite place is a dock that goes out onto the Wisconsin River. My favorite thing to do there is lay on my back and close my eyes and listen and feel. It is one of the calmest places in my hemisphere. I think poetry is one of the only ways I could really describe it! :)
