Serenity

A Collection

By Mother CombsPublished about a year ago 1 min read

When the quest for tranquility eludes

And the trip to peacefulness is wrecked

Then it is time to take a deep calming breath

To put our hectic lives back on track for serenity

***********************

Calmness in spirit

Tranquility in the soul

Serenity claimed

***********************

In stillness, I find

The world's chaos fades away,

Serenity found.

***********************

S - Stillness envelopes me,

E - Embracing me in peace.

R - Reflection brings clarity,

E - Erasing worries with ease.

N - Nurturing my soul,

I - Inner harmony can be found.

T - Tranquility washes over me,

Y - Yearning for stillness profound.

***********************

On a sea of chaos, savage and wild

With storms of turmoil forever riled

Is an island where serenity dwells

A sanctuary where tranquility swells

With the crashing of the waves, a beacon of light

Guiding lost beings through the darkest night

A refuge where tired hearts rest,

In the embrace of peace, truly blessed.

Stillness paints the horizon's hue,

A tapestry of stillness, ever true,

Whispers of serenity caress the air,

As gentle breezes through my weary hair.

On the shores of Ataraxia, I find my way,

A sacred haven where chaos fades away,

Amidst the turmoil, a peaceful retreat,

Where calmness reigns, and my soul is complete.

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.
