1950s SMALL TOWN LIFE/RETREAT



                            RETREAT


I am hidden from the humans
But the World's aware of me.
The wind teases me and tousles my hair
The sun and the stones on which I sit
Caress me with their warmth
All things glitter and beckon to me.
The birds toss out a promising note
   Of songs-to-be!
The World is good, to me.
And I, to it, am important or un-
For it makes no difference.
This is reality.



Susan J. Skinner
June 1963
