I think I need an hour of peace
I think I need a day of rest
Some time to muse, to lie or sit
Some time to stop, be still, to breathe
Feel silence, be alone with just me
I’m shattered with the noise of life
I’m splintered with demands of home
Of school, of work, laundry, shopping
It’s a circus, a wild merry go round
I need time off at a silent lake or shore
To have the peace of a quiet day
To renew my soul and fill my cup again!

I look out on the street below
On muted duns and greys
Splashed here and there with soft lamp glow
Or spearing car lights in the street
On hurried feet and wetted coat
On orbs of bobbing hues
Bright umbrellas dodging puddles
Vancouver in the rain!
