Seeking Serenity By a Lovely Oak

As I take stroll in the meadow.
I seek serenity by a lovely oak tree .
It is by far my most cherished place.
I love the sun shining on my face. 
When I’m alone basking in nature I’m free.

The fresh air invigorates all my senses.
All my worries and doubts seems to vanish.
I love the stillness that I find there.
And I don't dwell on the chaos everywhere.
My weary soul is free from anguish.

Wonderful, Alexis. I read someone else writing a poem on serenity recently. I think they also included a tree. Trees are great symbols of serenity.
