In a rare moment of serenity, Is where I suddenly find myself. Unusually, no one seems interested In whatever I am busy with. I am finally alone....by the sea... I sit back on my chaise lounge, I close my eyes. The music of the wind blowing Sends me drifting..... Takes me to a secluded place. In its midst stands a big house, Its high concrete walls, impenetrable, Like those of a castle, With all its trappings and imperfections. Upon its portals, I hesitated....then stopped. They were all so familiar, The house, the door, the windows, The curtains, too.... My stomach started acting up... I was sweating  as I remembered... It was where I once lived, A life full of restrictions... Imprisoned was I Within its walls of silence... Filled with dread, I quickly gasped for air... All set to flee from those cold scary walls That terrified me so.... I turned to run, But I couldn't take the first step, My feet were frozen, like those of a statue......... I couldn't move at all, when..... Suddenly, Thunder roared, lightning flashed... A strong wind blew, and the rains came At the same time... Raindrops and some dry leaves Started falling on my face, Like confetti from above.... They tickled my nose, and I sneezed back to reality, Away from that nightmare of long ago... I blinked a few times as A wave splashed against the shore, and Brought a taste of salt to my lips. My past, these new beginnings and Second chances that surround me now..... All these things made me realize that Nothing stays forever..... Permanent is not at all permanent..... Only GOD is........ I am now calm as the sea in summer.... Still alone....undisturbed.... In a rare moment of serenity.... Sally Copyright 2013 Rosalia Rosario A. Bayan

In A Rare Moment Of Serenity
In a rare moment of serenity, Is where I suddenly find myself. Unusually, no one seems interested In whatever I am busy with. I am finally alone....by the sea... I sit back on my chaise lounge, I close my eyes. The music of the wind blowing Sends me drifting..... Takes me to a secluded place. In its midst stands a big house, Its high concrete walls, impenetrable, Like those of a castle, With all its trappings and imperfections. Upon its portals, I hesitated....then stopped. They were all so familiar, The house, the door, the windows, The curtains, too.... My stomach started acting up... I was sweating  as I remembered... It was where I once lived, A life full of restrictions... Imprisoned was I Within its walls of silence... Filled with dread, I quickly gasped for air... All set to flee from those cold scary walls That terrified me so.... I turned to run, But I couldn't take the first step, My feet were frozen, like those of a statue......... I couldn't move at all, when..... Suddenly, Thunder roared, lightning flashed... A strong wind blew, and the rains came At the same time... Raindrops and some dry leaves Started falling on my face, Like confetti from above.... They tickled my nose, and I sneezed back to reality, Away from that nightmare of long ago... I blinked a few times as A wave splashed against the shore, and Brought a taste of salt to my lips. My past, these new beginnings and Second chances that surround me now.....
