Tranquility

TRANQUILITY 
Standing and looking out over 
the ocean time seems to standstill 
No worries or anxiety not even 
the slightest feel
The warm breeze combing 
through my long dark hair 
I take  in a deep breath and 
smell the salty air
Eyes closed, heart beating 
nice and slow 
Savoring this moment and 
not ever letting go
My life is so blessed beyond
any words I could say 
I look to the sky and ask GOD
to let it stay this way
Love, laughter and a happy
heart within myself
I want to bottle it all up,
and put it on a shelf
Storms in life are meant to
make us strong 
There are reasons that some
situations do go wrong 
I keep my strength of faith 
and peace always in my mind 
I take one day at a time and
never look behind
