Solace in Unexpected Places ©Dawn Minott | a Sexain with audio

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

Where upheaval and troubles of life compound
Solace and peace of mind may be found

In uncharted unexpected spaces, begin
To bask in the presence of folk of kin or skin

A balm for the soul in surprising embraces
Respite found in the most unexpected places

Venture beyond, receive comfort where it’s found
A safe haven, a harbor, no worries abound

In heart’s oasis serenity released
Calm found, inner peace achieved

Tranquility flows like soothing breezes
A welcoming solace in unexpected places

Afterword: a friend shared this photo with me with a message that started with “anywhere you find peace of mind settle there”. And it resonated so deeply with me, the inspiration led me to write this poem.

    1. I know. The photo evoked such good thoughts. Often we struggle to find solace among those who are kin and it’s a struggle because that’s where we expect to find peace, support, love, respite. But sometimes the best kin are not those of our bloodline but of our friend-line, our kin of choice (aka brown sKIN dog with brown sKIN goat)!!
