Serenty
The wind blows light
The evergreen;
A mountain's view
Yet so serene.
Its stillness stirs
A tranquil mind,
That helps to quell
My weary grind.
A young bird to
Its mother calls,
An autumn's leaf
Reluctant fall.
A deer evokes
A calm to me,
As he just stops
And stares at me.
Chipmunks run to
Stock their fodder,
Crows behind to
Steal and bother.
A breeze that whisps
Where er it will,
A blackbirds task
To eat his fill.
If like narure,
Peace dwells within,
Then why not me
Instead of sin.
So like nature
I wish to be:
Serenity,
reside in me.
About this poem
After years of drug and alchohol abuse, now being sober, after losing wife and kids, i was reflecting on natures peace and wishing to have that peace.
