The key to life
In constant strife
And stubborn exposure
To stress and strain
Again and again,
Is sweet composure.
Ah, but how can we
Advisedly flee
From tension that
Presses so much
That we, as such,
May not combat?
No matter what,
Life that is fraught
With problems galore,
May not be apt
To fully adapt
To life as before.
Like a poem in rhyme
Life's rhythm is such:
One step at a time,
Can help us so much !

Poetry: Serenity
by Rhonda Gowen
Search for Serenity
Pulse is pounding, eyes are shifting,
Rain is beating, shoes are slogging.
Wander on, never stop,
Park
I stand beneath the canopy
Of massive trees surrounding
A gentle breeze blows through the leaves
A calmness all around me
Pull yourself together,
Tie your own knot,
Remove alien tether,
That makes you burn hot,
Stay serene and cold-blooded,
Look
by Ezra Siske
In the quiet of the night,
By the glow of a pale moon,
I watch her sleep.
Blankets tucked under her chin,
Her face untroubled
Half-Moon Smiles
A Supreme iron hand...
clutches Grandpa's red suspenders,
like a Mother holds onto her baby.
God won't allow
