Serenity.

A warm cup of coffee in cold hands.
Quiet stillness on a porch.
The sounds of water and birds.

A book in my lap, transporting me to another world.

Embrace in nature
Breathing by the lake
Waking up to the birds' sounds
Watching rain through a window
The friendship bond
Staring at landscapes

Obsession of history
Comparisons
Ancient attire
Simplicity food for survival
Contemporary social life
New discovery giving indefinite fascination

When we come together
Its like a rebirth
Another exciting time
In each other's company
Laughter and comfort
Gets the best of us
Creating nothing into something
In gatherings we get the essence of life

We've cut the tree for warmth in winter's chill,
Only to lose its shade when summer's heat is still.
Cut only a branch, and let new life begin,
And you'll have fire and shade to cherish within.

I need to tune you out
because you're stressing me like crazy
I'm stretching in all directions
and I can't stop it lately
