Peace found within stillness. "There Is No Peace Like That Which Is Found Within Stillness" -Arlene Longson All life is now silent; I hear no sound The wind is now calm; the sea is serene Nothing I hear, near or far, moves around Birds are sweetly sleeping in nests of trees. O where is God when all is calm, and still When only peace and quiet rest on earth With seas asleep and ev'ry calming gill Prepares for some soon new begotten birth. Stillness of dark night now waits for new dawn To bring the sun up in a sleepy eye Replace silent dark hidings on my lawn Enjoying peace and quiet as I lie. Must day be noisy everywhere I go When light awakens seas, I cannot rest For all my dreams are resting drifting slow Beneath the moon and stars, my calm is best. Daytime flurry creates noise and illness There is no peace like calm found in stillness. Peace found within stillness of quiet night.

 (smiles) Awwwwwww, this poem has a glorious sense of serenity in it, sweet friend, I too believe the stillness of heart is the most wonderful feeling of all and to appreciate the simplest pleasures is how we seek this calmness!

Stillness of dark night now waits for new dawn To bring the sun up in a sleepy eye Replace silent dark hidings on my lawn Enjoying peace and quiet as I lie. Beautifully and peacefully said, Newell  ~peaceful hugs~copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
