Seeking Serenity

When it seems the world turns upside down
I am airborne by problems, falling
Seeking serenity to erase my frown
While wanting to run out of town
I can hear the mountains calling

Where strength resides and is renewed
Where the slopes of serenity shine
With all the beauty to be viewed
To study my path to be pursued
Some choices in my destiny are mine!

I like the way you took a turn in the second stanza..from upside down and falling.. to the slopes of serenity and beauty to be viewed..the ending line is great! Best for a win, Heidi.
