There once was a parrot named Peace,
Whose chatter would never quite cease.
It squawked on and on,
From dusk until dawn,
Till neighbors begged, “Give us release!”
The Chattering Peace

While no one was in the park, a peace settles over me.
The birds chirping, the smell of the wet grass,
The lonely benches waiting for someone to come and sit on them.
The peace that runs through me is all‑consuming.
No judgement from others, just myself and nature.
In this stillness, I remember who I am when the world isn’t watching.
The breeze moves through the trees like a soft reminder that I belong here too.
For a moment, nothing is required of me.
I breathe, I listen, and I let the quiet gather all the scattered pieces of me back into place.

All around
Peace waiting for you
All you must do is claim it
Embracing Serenity
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 at the Peak
Softly the hillside rises high
Trees leaning where the breezes sigh
Every step a quiet climb
Earth beneath in steady time
Peace awaits you at the top
Dichotomy of Peace and War
Peace
Tranquil, Harmonious
Soothing, Calming, Embracing

Finding Peace and Calm
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.
Discovering Serenity
Seeking peace within
A gentle touch, soothing balm
Comfort found from love
Open your heart and embrace
The beauty of each new day
Swaying Breeze
The gently swaying breeze brings peace within,
Sending little goosebumps dancing on your skin.
It carries you away
To another time of day,
And every single moment feels like a win.
Peace
We need peace, today
All that we’ve ever wanted.
Is needed right now
Elusive Peace
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…

The Elusive Search for Tranquility
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.
Tropical Treat
Golden paradise
Swaying palm trees, quiet ocean
Relaxation from stress
Greeted with salty breezes
And scented sun tan lotion…

Embrace of Peace
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.
