Simplistic Serenity
September 20, 2014
Barefoot on the dock
Dangling my feet in the crystal clear waters for answers
Why isn’t nature this clarifying?
Instead, I have a tingling of uncertainty running through my veins

Dragonflies swarm around in a more organized fashion than I’ll ever be
Sounds of animal calls and responses

I wrote this camp on a hike in summer camp. The dock that I stopped at to write this poem was like any other dock but I had some inclination to write a poem in my notebook. I carry my notebook everywhere becasue I don't know when inspiration hits me. This poem is just random thoughts in my head mixed together. My poem was put together kind of like life, random!
