I like your thoughts on Serenity, Sara, and the image was a perfect fit. I could so sleep on purple clouds. Bill

you are most kind, Daniel. I'm grateful for your enthusiasm about my poetry in general. I like the 'short' poetry poems...longer ones are a challenge; sometimes time is a factor. Appreciate you and your visit, Sara

In a world full of noise and violence ,we seek peace and serenity.. some find it in the most surprising places, for some it is easy to find, but for many it is difficult... Lovely poem Dear Sara.. bless you.

I agree, Silent One...sometime finding peace and serenity is hard. When I taught full time, finding that peace was such a challenge...sometimes I couldn't quieten the noise in my head. I appreciate your visit and kind words. Have a 'serene' evening, Sara

Excellent photo accompanying this one. Yes, we can't house anger and jealousy continuously because it will destroy a person. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

thanks, Sara K, for sharing your thoughts. I agree. Anger & jealousy is toxic and will destroy a person. I think we've both witnessed that. Have a great Sunday, hugs, Sara B

I agree sweet sara, but we live in a world that reeks jealousy and hatred and its sad, but for serenity to flourish and thrive, deep within and more we need to let ego slip away, and embrace positivity , kindness and love to inner self and more. In few words youv left a reminder a powerful poem that deserves all the accolades. For me reading your poems give me serenity too. They are so peaceful and flows with nothing but light, sending you back light too. Pleasure reading you

Dear Sara, the essence of serenity is captured beautifully in the insightful imagery of your verse. Indeed, ego, anger and jealousy have no place in the circle of serenity. Your golden verse is a wonderful reminder. Your soulful pen shines, dear poetess. Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan
