"The Warrior and The Tree"

I sought peace and quiet like a warrior ready to lay down his sword.
Yet I found no peaceful corner not anywhere in the world.
I looked up high, I looked far below,
all I found was lights and noise.

I couldn't rest on mountains, I didn't sleep near wells,
no quiet by the rivers, nor peace in the forest with its bears.

I went to the cities, this of course was worse, even more lights and sounds with too many people walking around.

I went back to the countryside and sat under a tree, the tree was almost golden with its light and sheen.

I said to it: "You are not for me"
but as I walked away,
the tree of life said;"Come to me."
and that is where I stayed.
