The fragililty of Tranquility

Walking along the river
Seeing beauty at every turn,
I sensed a sweet serenity
As my heart did truly burn.
Birds were flying carefree
High up in the blue,
Enjoying the sunshine it seemed,
Warming each wing so new.
Daffodils, like trumpets of gold
Appeared to dance in the breeze,
And a fleet of Mallards swam
Beneath Weeping Willow trees.
Suddenly, out of the blue,
A jet fighter screamed overhead
And left a ringing in my ears
And my nerves hung on a thread.
Next, a juggernaut thundered
Along the road nearby
Causing me to let out
A very irritated sigh.
Just then a fire-engine’s siren
Blurted out its raucous noise
Alerting all to make way
For those heroic boys.
This fast-paced world too soon
Will snatch away our peace,
So, we need to savour each minute
Before life’s stresses increase.
