Your Search For Serenity

Get rid of that false notion that life
only makes us taste bitterness,
and that only through unwanted pain...
we learn another memorable lesson,
to better understand the purpose of being alive!
Scream, complain and fight the cruelest enemy,
nothing will be changed by manifesting animosity:
be positive and you'll get to look over the other side,
to start your search for serenity!



And the very disappointed ones know that
chasing lovely rainbows can become unpleasant dreams
washed away by many sudden and unexpected storms; 
are you one of those being easily deluded and thrown aside!
And is fate altered by a wrong choice or desire,
sometimes making us wait just to savor a tasteless sweetness,
to deride of our naiveness and lack of pure faith;
where are the ardent aspirations we seldom acquire?



If trees are nurtured by constant sunlight to bear good fruit,
don't they also need rain to make them grow and wind to make them multiply?
An important source for growth is the knowledge for truth
and a belief to surpass all uncertainties:  that we're made to live, not to die! 
Have you considered to bathe yourself in holiness and begin your search for serenity,
when everything else fails, firmly believe that faith can defeat death and evil; 
so detestable they would be, if the earthly eyes weren't sinful
