Serenity. Is this an unrealistic state of being an imaginative state that's deemed to be utopia Is serenity achievable in this crazy world determinedly hellbent on maintaining dystopia Serenity an emotional state of being deeply enshrouded by feelings of much love Through the heart, stimulation by divine messages from above Serenity is this a state of being oft confused with solitude Or is it when community abounds serenity oozing gaining amplitude Solitude not always a recipe for serenity an active mind many thoughts are buzzing Alone and disturbed, perhaps much swearing and associated cussing In the soul the serenity vessel is proportional when the vessel's full of love Serenity, no space for angry emotion when the vessel's full of anger No serenity no space for love devotion Serenity is it only when the soul is surrounded by creations of nature Many birds are chirping, soak up the warmth of sun the scent of many flowers all raise a joyous stature Serenity a harmonious state of self loving support Engage the mind in meditation serene visionary thought Serenity it's an individual call what brings about one's calmness may not apply to all Serenity released embrace the blissful soul caress
