Oh if only I had peace

Oh if only I had peace

I search for silence, I seek out solitude whenever trials of troubles put me in a gloomy mood..each and every room in my house has sound as I shuffle through the many doors and I listen all around.. so I wrap up in layers, it is baltic out there and walking in my garden I embrace the chilly air

I can hear the noises from our nearby stream with it’s constant running water of torrent and teem.. but I long for tranquility, Oh if only I had peace yet it’s impossible to make the sounds of the water cease.. so I walk for a while with the traffic on the roads,  I hear the cars racing past and the wagons with their heavy loads..surely there must be somewhere that I can go where I won’t hear anything but my own breath blow ?

There is a hill that I can climb and I have an abundance of time, surely when I leave all the farmlife behind, I should have peace of mind ? so leaving the hustle and the bustle of my home in my wake I ascend up the steepness for my solitary sake.. I am aware of my heart beating in my chest but I put up with my plight until I can sit and rest.. eventually and at last I reach the very top where I am absolutely shattered from my climb when I flop

Now is the time to take it steady as I sit on a rugged rock and I get myself ready.. to listen to nothing, no sound at all without sheep and cattle bleating out their call.. and as my heart rate slows underneath my sweaty skin I take deep breaths where the air is thin.. inhaling.. exhaling in long gangling gasps with only the sound of my inner self rasps.. Ahhhh.. I listen and even in this beautiful exquisitness.. my peacefulness is shattered with my terrible tinnitus ?
