Imagine a place beyond, if you will
Beyond skewed perceptions
beyond all judgments of you and me
There, in that glade with softened light
where dappled and delightful dwell
I’ve found moments of serenity
Bubbling creek of understanding running by
The sweet smell of harmony filling my senses
And ever present, the sounds
and caress of peace
softening my knowing with Love
Examples aplenty
in Nature can be found
for serenity and courage
most naturally abound
Bear, for example, is easy
serenely walking the woods
yet with courage faces obstacles
And how ’bout squirrel
with all his chattering
stops to ponder for a moment
shows serenity in action
and courage planting trees
———————————-
They’ve planted 4 oaks, 2 figs
2 maples and assorted grapes
in my yard
My mind is always floating
near the banks of serenity
Keep me, keep me in peace
as I walk through life’s dramas…
