Serenity

What is serenity? Some say its peace of mind.
To each this is reached a different way.

Some find it on a summer day.
Letting the breeze take their cares away.

To some a gentle spring shower does the job.
Washing away all their sorrows and fears.

Some need a thunderstorm
to remind them their problems are small.

To some the calm of a Winter's day.
Letting things settle in the fallen snow.

Yet some find serenity with a favorite book.
Letting the tale take them away for a while.

A dance for joy, or a run of need
may be what it takes for others.

A long hot bath with quiet music and candles.
Lets the pains just draining away.

Time spent with a best friend.
Be that time where stress ends.

For some an animal may be that friend.
Winged, hooved or furry, tis what is needed.

To each serenity is found a different way.
But, we are alike in that we need to find it.

Casting our sorrows, fears and pains aside,
to find the joy, hope and love inside.
