Never ending is a search
as each day fades away
for a few moments
of peace to soothe a weary soul.
When the night comes calling
on horizon of silver sky
as stardust falls gently down,
moonlight fingers reach to earth.
In the darkness the white wolf howls
on a distant mountainside,
to guide a lonely spirit
to the coming of the dawn.

In sleepy yawn the sunrise paints
views of golden and red
as Luna slips into the daylight,
while tomorrow begins again.
The quiet of the morning,
spent in wishful thoughts
that the world might find peace…
the future offers yet another chance.

In sleepy clamor
the world starts a daily routine
never noticing the birds in flight
nor the dew drops born of yesterday.
Time waves good morning
to the approaching day.

Sometimes a soul is weeping
not for lack of gain,
but for all that has been lost.

Endlessly a soul is searching~
once again, seeking serenity…..




Like a red brick,
in a white wall
somebodies brush
forgot to paint...
lonely....(as sung by Tracy Lawrence..)

sometimes? serenity is simply sleeping!

This is a lovely poem, and actually, my name is less of a description and more of a GOAL of mine...so I could relate to this very well!

Loved it!

(sigh) Seeking serenity can indeed be a lifetime commitment, sweet friend, this is very beautifully heartfelt though also a little sad to see it be a tug-of-war effect on so many! (kiss on cheek) This is powerful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

GS..

There are few days that I too am sitting
and reflecting...seeking serenity...

Looking for the peace.


You have penned the feelings well...

I am searching for the same thing....learning all over again....love you....

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.
