You're the first flash of light after the darkness
A needed breath of air after almost drowning
The calm before the storm, and the rainbow after it passes
Some define serenity as the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled
I have no words for it, but with just a picture of your smile I just might feel ok.
Cayley Raven Mar 2020
To many a sound
of nothing at all
blasting just loud enough
to drive people crazy

To me it´s serenity
in purest of forms
despite its old age
fails not to amaze me
Do you like silence?

Running.
As fast as I can
to keep up with the train

I wanna know
what is happening inside.
But it's going too fast.

I can't keep up,
I'm running out of breath.

Maybe one day I will
be able to catch up.
Maybe if I calm down,
the train will too.
Glenn Currier Mar 2020
May I be infected
with a sureness
of your love

May it spread within me
like an IV flowing confidence
in my okayness

In the face of fear
and desperation may
I be a cove of calm presence

May you be well
whole and robust
in every cell

In this time of solitude
may I encounter
the awesome power of now

You wanted me to “feel better”
I do feel better
After popping a few pills
It’s not Xanax, but it’ll do
I feel it slowing me down...
My eyelids grow heavy......
Why am I always wondering
What’s my limit?
What happens if I take a few more....?
I know... I know I just want to abuse something
And if it’s myself, even better
I find hydroxyzine a surprisingly effective medication

Placating that rage
Spirting the way of sage

Object permanence makes the mental sour
Idealists, the opposite dour

Listening to musical notes as they are sang
Battlefields of yin and yang

Yang's lost its credibility
That seas lost its crossability

The middle Way's middle point
The yin is to anoint.

Garden of Daisies  
Reticent next to the Sage
Drinking my Chamomile.

Field of Innocence
Reserved with wisdom.
Taking in the calm...

Feelings are on pause..
feeling kind of lost..
don't know where to go..
kind of on my own..
I know I should be strong..
but how am I
supposed to be
calm..
it's overwhelming to feel..
am I going alone
after all..
feelings are fleeting..
why can't I
keep them
under control..

i like pink

soft as a baby
delicate and precious
smiles so warm like the setting sun
a rose in a thorny garden

i like yellow

oh how fun are their quirks
a mix and match of many things
oh the joy yellow brings
a symphony in my ears when they sing

i like blue

like the oceans and the seas
a calm sky and deep tones
calm and mysterious
endless tranquility and ferocity that sets the skin on flames

i like pink yellow and blue
i like all the colors
i like all the hues

i like pink yellow and blue
how about you?

All I could see was the pond just ahead.
Still and motionless, a peaceful blue bed.
All I could see were the trees swaying slow,
Carrying a breeze and the thoughts they know.
All I could see was the grass dancing smooth,
Green and delicate, a sight fit to soothe.
All I could see was the clear blue sky above,
And all I could feel was astounding love.

All I could hear was the wind blowing soft,
My mind cleared, and my mind shut off.
All I could hear were the birds humming sweetly,
A beautiful sound, language flowing discreetly.
All I could hear was the breathing earth,
My mind deep in the roots of death and birth.
All I could hear was the silence alive,
And all I could feel was the heartbeat of life.
