Tranquility
Rowed the tranquil waters,
of a star reflected lake.
Skied soft white powder,
down from a mountain’s,
highest breathless peak.
Swam the blue-green waters,
amid flashing fish of speed.
Coral waving feeding tendrils,
single breath's all one needs.
Surfed the white-hot atmosphere,
returning from outer space.
View from there so incredible,
never find a more fragile place.
Stopped in an ancient glen,
of dusty drying decaying leaves,
Listened to the rustling foragers,
bringing in their sheaves.
On the bank of quiet pond,
frog and dragonfly replete.
Noisy redwinged blackbird,
drives intruders to retreat.
Searching sad tears silent,
on a rainy dull, dreary day.
Soldiering against melancholy,
keeping the blues at bay.
Seeking the distant horizon,
over the zenith's infinite bend.
Searching for future tranquility,
one that will never end.
