TRANQUILITY

Reflecting: This was another good day with peace and tranquility. I am starting to have more and more days like this. It feels so good, relaxing and still.


TRANQUILITY

Tranquility is a state of mind,
It is not always easy, it is hard to find.

You must work at it from morn to night,
You must always be ready, but not for a fight.

It is being peaceful, serene, with a gentle smile,
To know you have conquered the longest mile.

The inner peace that it does bring,
Is like a gentle bird, as it does sing.

As others see your tranquil strength,
They look to you, leading by a length.

When you're by yourself, you are never alone,
Through you an inner light will always be shown.

You move about with graceful ease,
Of you first, you must be pleased.

The sun seems always ready to shine,
When you're happy, tranquil and feeling fine.

There are many who will never know,
As they search through life, looking high and low.

That tranquility is a state of mind,
A peace from within, they will never find.
