The Most Tranquil Place I Know

Matthew Elliott on Jun 30, 2009

A poem from 19 years ago when I had a realization of how much someone meant to me.

Could I describe you with a man’s words,

In all the ways you so deserve,

How, when no words seem enough.

The vision of you often drifts across my mind,

And brings thoughts I cannot describe,

Takes me to the most tranquil place I know,

Reminds me of how quickly time passes by,

And that I must never waste a moment with you.

some moments that could be treasured are often lost due to unnecessary conflict or misunderstanding. A few people come to my mind as I read your poem. For whatever reason they were easily offended, what could have been a meaningful friendship lost.
Nice tribute to that special someone who crossed your path.

Hi there!
