Retreat, by Jamal Ali




This wilderness of tranquility
at Goldeye Lake,
is so soothing,
my mind is at ease.

Evergreens tickle the sky.
The placid lake reflects my mood of complete calm.
Life takes a slow pace here.
This aura of prevailing silence,
is so scintillating
that it revels my psyche.

Healing surroundings,
the fresh air rejuvenates.
I rejoice in the freedom of space and nature.
The innocent chatter of the squirrels,
so full of life,
scampers from place to place
in my midst.

In the early dawn,
an owl summons its mate,
a cry of longing echoing against the foothills.
The log cabins,
are full of splendid coziness
in the dark nights.
