Notes About The Poem

June 11, 2026

"Serenity" Poetry Contest

Sponsor: Constance La France

Serenity

S oothing harmonious emerald waves lapping on the shore turn
E ntire universe seem magnanimous and serene.
R etiring from chaos surrounds me with a calmness which 
E very shell in the amber sand brings to the troubled mind,
N oiseless stillness hush enveloping existence...inner peace
I want to achieve, echo from a hollow conch deliver
T ranquility of mind and soul,
Y earning for Nirvana !

Dearest Mala, I love thinking about the blessings of the "magnanimous" universe for each of us translated into "emerald waves," "amber sand" and the "echo of the hollow conch." You have a wonderful way of turning ordinary things of life into life lessons! Congratulations on your win in Constance's contest. Blessings of the serene to you!

Your poem is so soft and flowing, now I don’t like mine. I want to write a Triolet. Ha ha!
