Tranquility 

 

Contest by Constance La France

TRANQUILITY

     Life is a struggle to fight
     Life is a challenge in plight 
      Joy and grief or success and failure
      You can enjoy or endure.
      Whatever ! Life is vibrant-
      may turn dull or brilliant
       or may be static or stagnant
       But on the whole just restless more or less.

        Most powerful is your instinct 
      manifesting your yearnings
      Mind and brain come in conflict
       Quite possible, Life becomes full of turbulence
         whirling in vortex.

      Life may be comparable to a DAY
           Originating at dawn .
         Midday shows enthusiasm
          budding youth, slowly in senile decay
          and sinking at eve of the day.

          As life transcends to death….
           All quiet on western front.
           Tranquility prevails.
           Cool calm and eternal sleep.
