Eternal Bliss

Like a sage rock in gushing river stream, like a lone hawk gliding the fast storm winds, like a baby asleep at mother’s breast, let in calmness the mind rest. Like lotus leaf that rain drops do not wet, like a still axle despite moving wheel, Like central pole that holds merry-go-round, Let serenity abound. Let the eyes perceive the events around, Let the noisy sound waves bounce all around, Let not life be a chase of hare and hound, look within soul, peace is found!

What is the rhyme scheme then. If you put a poem as rhyme it should follow a consistent rhyme scheme. Myself learning, not confident of anything.

Thanks Rama. I was not planning to rhyme them but just the last two lines of each stanza and mono rhyme for the last. Not sure if I should get them to rhyme too.
