Serenity
Upon the face of those who love,
Resides the confident look,
This look is very serene and quiet,
As though taken from the pages of a calming book.
In fact it is an age old theme,
As life plays out it's hand,
In truth it is something very profound,
And I speak from experience, grand!
For the Lover's perception is all about themes,
We experience in kind day by day,
I have had this in my life as well,
I still will enter the fray,
But remember the look I describe above,
Is common to the Distaff and Man,
To be so serene is the ultimate goal,
Let me please be the one who can.
