Finding Peace

                                    Gazing at the sun in the morn
                                     Rising behind the distant hills,
                                      Brightening the dim horizon
                                 And greeting the neighbouring fields
                                   Confers peace and joy to the heart,
                                       Quietude to the human mind
                                      And a sense of solace imparts 
                                          To a forbearing observer.

                                In the same vein, watching with care
                                      A garden flower blossoming
                                    And spreading apace in the air
                                   Its sweet and delicate perfume
                                    For anyone to stand and stare
                                      Instils in a careful beholder
                                      The essence of tranquility
                                  And makes his spirit grow fonder.

                                    Beholding the slowly setting sun
                                      On a sunny summer afternoon
                                     Settling on the crimson horizon
                                     Off the coast of a sandy beach 
                                    Enlivens the heart with ecstasy
                               Beyond the bounds of common reach
                                 And showers peace and tranquility
                                      On an attentive onlooker.

                                     Gazing at the myriads of stars
                                      On a delightful summer night,
                                  Some hundreds of light years away
                                     Up high in the sky shining bright
                                      And lightening the earthly way
                                     Creates a clear sense of delight
                                     Deep in the heart of the viewer
                                    And a feeling of peace does ignite.

                                       Yet real peace lies not outside,
                                       But deep within the inner self,
                                      Which is just like a lovely lake
                                      Reflecting the image of oneself,
                                       Ever bright and always awake,
                                     Shining with kindness for others
                                And keen to treat others like brothers
                                       Of the extended human race.

                                         Real peace lies in offering
                                      Service to the Almighty Lord,
                                    Devoting oneself to His shrine,
                              Linking with Him as best as one can afford
                                    And ever chanting divine hymns
                                      As He is the fountain of peace,
                                     The bestower of divine grace
                                   And the source of eternal bliss.

                                    If everyone on the earthly plane
                                    Were to connect to the inner self
                                   And tread along the peaceful lane
                                     To reach the gem of inner peace
                                    Or connect to the Supreme Lord
                                     And embrace His love on board
                                   Global peace won`t be hard to find,
                                    Nor would the goal of human bliss
                                       Be just a long lingering dream,
                                        But quite an achievable wish.
