Like the pine needles
Quieting every footstep
On the asphalt path
*
A long walk outside
Quiets the noise in my mind
In only moments
*
Needled evergreens
Buffer the sounds of the road
The park is peaceful
*
Gone from the office
Far from the water cooler
And daily grumbles
*
A needed lunchtime escape
Prepared for the afternoon
