1600’s midlife crisis


My life is quite tame if you ask me

I am just a simple shepard

Sometimes I wonder what else I could be

I am very calm cool and measured


Today has been a very fine afternoon

The wind flows like a running river

Seems as though a storm is heading soon

The wind is now acting like a messenger


Do I dare leave this town

I will grab this horse and go far away

There is no reason for me to stick around

One thing for sure tomorrow is a new day


I will get to be all on my own

Right or left which way do I go

My mind is now set in stone

Who care I have nothing to owe


The author's comments:

This poem is Ekphrastic poem about a painting that is named " Landscape with a calm" by Nicolaus Poussin. It is my take on the painting itself and my own deeper meaning.
