Attempted Serenity
The flowers grew only on the far side of the river
It has been a lifetime since I sat peaceful and patient
and searched for a four leaf clover
The sky the most perfect blue
The clouds are bursting and go on into infinity
The air is brisk, Autumn is coming
The stream moves ever so slightly
Here in this grass on this riverbank
seems so serene
a calmness I rarely feel is about me
I breathe in deeply the clean crisp air
It fills and feels wonderful in my lungs
All the faint sounds combined create beauty
Hearing is the last sense to go when we die
I study the ants as one carries a dead brother
takes him deep in the tunnels
How would it feel to lack all emotion
Fear is a common enemy of us all
This happens every time
Thoughts invade my meditation
I re-center
I lay back and watch the sky
This would be better with someone
I wish it would rain
