Serenity

Serenity,that
Gentle feeling
That seeps from
The bowels of
The earth
Like a mist
Encasing
All creatures.

The divine
That crawl,
Walk,fly and
Swim our
Blue globe.

While man
Descends
Into war;
Gun battles,
Death rattles,
Murder,genocide;
Blood and lust
Smothered
In dust.

Ejected
From
Paradise;
We have
Lost our
Serenity.

O,to be a
Beetle
Humping
On the sand,
Or a seagull
Diving in
The sea,
Or a dolphin
Floating in
The deep.

Serenity,
That eternal
Peace that
Unites all
Living things.

Serenity,that
Gentle feeling
That seeps from
The bowels of
The earth
Like a mist
Encasing
The world.
