Serenity
Stillness abides deep facial form;
Statue decides a lasting norm.
Eyes closed in peace where no thoughts can;
Deeper than ease this inner trend.
You meditate in sweet repose;
Aware of fate in lively close.
Awake to know a flight that glows;
Aware of flow as insight shows.
A lotus stance of inner quest;
A vibrant dance in calm address.
So many makes that stillness sparks;
A mindful take with soul that marks.
Here at the core, the soul knows best;
No need for more to thrill life's quest.
This Buddha form in placid sit;
Samples a norm beyond all wit.
The path and way lies within reach;
Now and here stay on loving each.

(Notes: This work is inspired by admiring
a fine sculpture of the Lord Buddha, as well
as a marvelous oil painting with same posture.)
