calm and content


when corners are rounded
sharpness of edge are honed
the prickly of vitriol is mitigated
anger and hate, atoned

contentment in a life of extremes
is the soft breeze in the dawn
the glitter of but a few stars
winking behind the cloud covered sky

solitude provides room and space
to the charm of nature’s heraldry
and the songs of the ocean wave
while in it's wake the osprey play

in quiet and calm, a spring of knowledge come
this fruit is gathered in wisdom’s abode
and all other distractions no longer matter
for there’s love of peace and the peace of love

    Most apt ending Marco! When peace is supported by love you need not have to ask for more!
