OF LIVING AND LOVING... AND COPING...: Peace, Relaxation and Spirituality

31 January 2011

Peace, Relaxation and Spirituality

sweet solitude reigns

unperturbed by winds of change

sublime bliss unfolds...

as turmoil eases

and turbulent passions calm

halcyon days begin...

the soul rests easy
whatever this life bestows
faith mutes all the noise...

Anonymous February 3, 2011 at 3:54 AM: Bing, this is a beautiful tribute to peace. My favorite line is: "whatever this life bestows
faith mutes all the noise..." In the end we have to have faith that everything will be okay and peaceful once again, don't we? Lovely, moving piece.
