Inner Peace

Peaceful mind is a worthy quality. 
At rest, my body is the sum of air. 
I will walk the road ahead tirelessly. 
I can cross the shark's waters tall, no fear.
Belly rolls of laughter in the stillness. 
Silence stunning, a strange symphonic muse. 
Inwardly, absent wars construct wholeness.
Calm natures set creativity loose. 
Nurture tranquil bases; struggle for peace.
Men are frothing waves tied to rebel seas. 
Climb the mountain, nestle in the vale's crease. 
Internal conflicts spur death and disease. 
   Herders and sages have found it by Starsearch - 
   solace can be won on this errant perch.
