At a Waterway in Florida - years ago

The quietness is huge, the space
is not impressive, but
whatever it is about a waterway
it’s banks, the flow of the tides,
the overall effect is

Quietness
and calm with
skies that cloud and clear, first
threatening rain then
bright blue with sun shining
from behind soft white clusters of clouds.

Unimpressive palms bending
characteristically
with a mild, warm breeze -
not wind - just barely a breeze.
FM radio and the classical music
station first broadcasting flute then
brass contributing to the feeling
of serenity and peace.

Can brass instill calm serenity and peace?
