Ataraxis
Constrain the clatter within the soul's quiescent call
Rip the sun out of the day into night time's placid fall
To bear the bliss of calmness and peace to all
Oust the din of baneful chaos born
It strikes too deep in our marrow's reconciliation
Unprotected as a petaled rose without her thorn
Ravage such turmoil that snarls serenity
That stirs and quakes despoiling amity and harmony
For the tree that falls uprooted is at rest with amenity
This life's river flows seeking to rest in quiet solitude
Ebbing to its everlasting surge into its cleansing trough
A contented cistern of ease of heart and sweet gratitude
So soft and unadorned the tireless repose liberates
To golden plains of gentle calm
Renewing our spirit's compass - our essence of faith
So sit, be still to meditate on the banks of humility
Transpose the eminent heart of a newborn's unburdened possibility
Breathe sighs of joy for those who know no enemy
