A place to show my work
What is tranquility?
I don’t know.
Whenever I think I’ve found it,
It vanishes right away.
I chase it through the silence,
In whispers of the night,
Yet every time I grasp a piece,
It slips beyond my sight.
A fleeting breath, a soft embrace,
A moment spent in dreams,
Though silent echoes linger still,
It fades like morning beams.
Golden paradise
Swaying palm trees, quiet ocean
Relaxation from stress
Greeted with salty breezes
And scented sun tan lotion…

Settle the argument, end the strife,
No more remorse, let’s embrace life.
Arguments fade, as love takes flight,
Settle in peace, let your hearts unite.
Worry consumes like fog that’s here to stay,
Anxious thoughts entwined, they lead me astray.
Emotions run wild, like a storm on the sea,
Yet deep in my heart, peace whispers to me.
It wraps around troubles, a soft, gentle light,
Calming the chaos that dances at night.
Though shadows may linger and doubts may arise,
In the end, it’s serenity that opens my eyes.
So I’ll breathe in the calm, let go of the strife,
Embracing the stillness, reclaiming my life.
For although worry clings, it cannot control,
The tranquility found in a soothed, steady soul.
Peace
Tranquil, Harmonious
Soothing, Calming, Embracing
Serenity, Stillness, Conflict, Violence
Attacking, fighting, invading
Brutal, Destructive
War
Mountains reach up high,
The horizon seems to go on forever.
Nature paints a beautiful picture,
It’s a wonderful view to enjoy.
The calmness and stillness bring peace to our thoughts.

Seeking peace within,
A gentle touch, soothing balm,
Comfort found in love.
Comfort at being myself
Comfort without any fear…

The sun goes down, the sky is bright,
Golden sand and ocean light.
I love the beach; it feels so good,
Waves that play, just like they should.
Seashells shine, and laughter’s near,
All my worries disappear.
In sunny days and starry skies,
The beach, my home, where my heart flies.
MAD 11/22/24
Seeking peace within
A gentle touch, soothing balm
Comfort found from love
Open your heart and embrace
The beauty of each new day

When the weight of life becomes too much,
And my mind feels burdened, longing for a touch
Of peace and solace, I know what to do
To unplug and find a sense of renewal.
Drawing and music, a perfect blend,
Help my thoughts unwind, allowing me to mend
The frayed edges of my restless mind,
Bringing a sense of calm, that’s hard to find.
Nature, too, holds the key
To unplug and set my spirit free.
In Joshua Tree’s vast expanse,
I find a refreshing, revitalizing dance.
When I can’t journey to such a place,
A local park becomes my space
To sit on a bench and admire the view,
And let nature’s tranquility flow through.
Learning the importance of unplugging,
I now make it a practice, never budging
From prioritizing my peace of mind,
To prevent feeling overwhelmed, I’m inclined.

All I want is peace
Fear it will never happen
I hope and I pray
That one day it will find me
Until then, I keep searching…

June is my favorite month of the year. The three main reasons are the weather, swimming, and my birthday. I love June’s warm, sunny days, which are perfect for spending time outdoors and enjoying nature. Swimming in a pool or at the beach is another month’s highlight. Lastly, celebrating my birthday in June makes it even more special and memorable.
I love the weather in June. The June gloom, where it’s cloudy and gloomy in the morning and then the sun breaks through, always makes my heart sing. Also, in June, the weather is not as hot as the later months of the summer can be. It’s just the perfect balance for me.
I have consistently recognized it as the start of summer, when I can swim more than any other time. When swimming, I am at peace with myself and let all the stress and worries fade away. It’s when I feel truly relaxed and free, with the water enveloping me and the sun’s warmth on my skin. Swimming allows me to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy the moment, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated afterward.
Lastly, and most importantly, it is my birthday month. I haven’t always had good birthdays, but I am always excited for them, even now that I am older. I dream of doing something I have never done before for this birthday, but we will see. At the moment, I have nothing planned. I want to make this birthday a memorable and special one.
June is a wonderful month for me because it combines enjoyable weather, fun activities, and personal significance. The warm, sunny days make it ideal for outdoor adventures and spending time with loved ones. Additionally, June holds special personal significance for me, making it a month I always look forward to.
