In the Stillness
In the Stillness
Placid lakes and ponds,
Serene mountains and valleys,
Calm and peaceful mornings, is what I long for;
Quietness and stillness all around,
It's been ages I have experienced such sound;
Oh! How obstreperous it is, to procure stillness,
Where I hanker what I desire to be,
I gazed and pursuit where I could,
At places imminent and remote,
But far-fetched, I was woebegone,
As I was inept to;
While longing for tranquility,
Deep within my heart and soul;
It was immersed and mummed,
Gently I kindled it;
With tenderness and fondness,
And it outshined, within and around,
Here I'm now, in concord;
Forever and ever .....
