You found me laying in the grass.
You should have left me there.
Kenshō Mar 2015
When my mind is
vacant and empty,
I can sense the Lord
Orchestrating beauty
From the heart of the void.

Tranquility of a still morning
Is worth more to me
Than everything and more.
Compared to the stress
Of the speeding world.

Mountains, glaciers, redwoods alike
Hiking, running, going by bike
Shiver, stumble, gracefully aware
Wind, sand, snow in our hair
Stories, laughter, sadness take hold
Seeing, learning, making our mold
Life, happiness, too vital to deny
Quails, sequoias, untouchable skies
Shades of blue, green, colors surround
The Earth, spinning, not making a sound
Quiet, serene, clouds moving slow
Strong, silent, peace we would know
Unexplainable, these scenes make a person anew
Breathing in and out, these universal truths
For that comment I made when you asked me that question
Ottar Feb 2015
give me quiet,
when there is no peace,
all right, take the quiet,
and release peace from
the obligation of being,
on standby, for me.

find a friend,
have love, yes,
anger holds me
with affection,
need a friend,
who does not mind
quiet, in the room.

breathe in air,
not the dust
filled indoor
kind, make lungs
blind, to a
fresh look,
fresh take,
on quiet, walks
and runs

alone

along busy city
streets with people
dressed in clothes
to hide the real
mental state,
they are in,
portable prison
cells on four wheels,
take them
to where they
do hard time,
kept far away
from the only
friends and family,
they have,
*quiet and peace
free verse, free words, still mine to give

Where the daisies grow tall
And the birds sing in perfect harmony
That's where you'll find us
Tucked in sweetly beneath the silver skies
Hands entwined
And bodies holding tight
We'll stay there forever
He'll stroke my hair
And I'll trace his scars
Tranquil and content
I'll love him always

Out of sight
Out of mind
I step away from myself
And in to the abyss
Of my knowledge.
Swimming through the memories,
Playing them like film strips.
I fall out of reality,
Allowing the subconscious mind
To take over.
I step away from
The world,
And retreat inside
To a tranquil place where
Thoughts can be heard
Without distraction
Without calamity.
Taken below the surface
Of the iceberg and
Consumed with euphoric fantasy,
All I can hear is the laughter
Of a thousand voices
Like wind chimes in the breeze-
All proclaiming peace.
If I could stay forever
I would-
In this place
I am happy.
I guess you could call it my happy place

Life at hand living out the plan,
It just might not be ours,
Is what we have to understand,
Everything happens as it should or it would not,
Happen at all is something I think everyone forgot,
It's not my plan? It's not my plan?,
Oh but it is blessed with free will as man,
And woman all the same theres noone to blame,
For our own misery,
So own your solution happily,
If something doesn't look right then change how you view,
You can see a different way if you want,
Theres really nothing to it,
Life isn't so bad once you become thankful,
There's lessons in life and they will make you feel tranquil,
So live your choice and rejoice at the chance,
To be alive and hear music and have a moment to dance.

I’d like to follow you  
down the path to the stream
where you like to watch the water
make smooth waves in your reflection.

If you watch a candles flame She
burns calmly and with such strength
Her integrity is never in question

She can soothe your soul as she disappears into the atmosphere
And Dancing her majestic tune she can capture you

Predictably unpredictable she lights the darkness in her unique way as she sways

Tranquil she remains, the knower of her own destiny she burns for our peace

If you watch a candles flame She
burns calmly and with such strength
Her integrity is never in question
Just watching my candle
