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.

***********************
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.
