Finding Peace in Stillness
Daylight shines upon the isle,
Peaceful sounds abound
Amidst lush greens and sand,
A place untouched, unbound
A crimson streak in the blue sky,
I behold the world with my eye
I see the bounty of nature,
With trees and fauna that are mature
I smell the salty ocean breeze,
And the coconut trees that sway with ease
Lost in a place so serene,
I forget the rush and routine
The fire that lights up the dawn,
A reminder that life goes on
In stillness, I find my peace,
And the beauty of this world never cease
I am lifted by the bright sun,
And grateful for all that is done
I forget the hate that weighs me down,
And bask in the wonders that it surrounds.
