Peace Is All Around You

This poem is for anyone that is very busy with tasks of life or anyone who is under the stress of worldly problems.

"Where can one find peace?",

have you ever wondered?

In this busy life of ours that has

     our calm and patience plunder'd.

To obtain true peace,

you need not go far.

Just relax, give a deep breath and

enjoy an ardent star.

Find solace in little things like 

the opening of a bud,

Or the little frogs that play so

joyfully in the mud.

Enjoy the lovely morning,

enjoy the bright noon,

Enjoy the setting sun and

enjoy the silver moon.

You may go out into the nearby woods

whenever you are free,

Find yourself a cosy place or

just sit beneath a tree.

Gently close your eyes and 

try to feel the cool air,

And for the moment leave aside your problems

as if you have ceased to care.

Noticing is the key-You have to notice all 

the good things that happen around you,

Then you will surely know, my busy friend, that

Peace is really all around you!

Author's Note

I wrote this some time ago when I too got obsessed with so much work that my heart started to feel burdened. Writing this poem really helped.

My Dear Writing Friend,
An excellent poem that I mused for hours. This piece of art I mused for hours. This is why I live in peace here in Alaska; all I have to do is quite my self and breath in nature. You poem made perfect since to me. I loved your chosen word “ardent”; it was a perfect word chosen for a unique write, well done.

Blessings, Laughing-Bear

Whenever i go to my village, the time seems to have stopped. The day seems to be a week. The rest of mind, rest of body and rest of the soul i feel is awesome. But bad luck is that i get a chance to visit the village once or twice in 3-4 years!

What a great write. I love the imagery and the point of the message as well. We do need to stop all this striving and just relax and enjoy what God has placed all around us. Nice work.

God Bless
