Brandel Library

Sit

This small secluded bench is one of the best places to sit and breathe in between classes and study sessions.

Crab apple tree, hydrangeas, robins, finches, bald cypress, periwinkle, and catmint

Settling

Day to day

Hour by hour

Sitting within my ivory tower

A fleeting moment of stress

I no longer possess

All of the day

Has washed away

While I slowly watch the leaves decay

As it falls on the brick

The rain is slick

But Autumn is ending

The seasons are blending

I am not in a hurry

I am losing my worry

Finally I am caught

Without a thought

At my sit-spot
