I walk the along the trail, the sounds of the birds and the rustling of leaves I look around at the blankets of brown, green, and grey that surround me And it calms me Walking along the beach, the waves dance endlessly along the shore The salty air fills my lungs, the sound of the wind and the gulls And it calms me Along the empty streets, businesses closed, and I am left alone The smell the mold from abandoned buildings, log trucks racing down the highway And it calms me No matter where life takes you, if you look, you’ll find peace Serenity isn’t just found on backwoods streams But in the rhythm of a city or in a conversation with friends Calm isn’t just about silence, but about awareness and focus When you learn that, peace comes, and serenity awaits
