Notes About The Poem

2026-06-09 Serenity Poetry Contest sponsored by Constance La France

SERENITY

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
