Serenity

There is a place in your mind that is difficult to find

But when everything fails in your life, this place becomes your haven…

A place where things become crystal clear

The painful past begins to fade in memories of yesterday

The longing future holds tomorrow secure

And the seasons of life are ever changing

Serenity is Peace

The sky is at its bluest; not a single cloud

The forest trees stand tall with its leaves dancing in the cool breeze

It welcomes an open field of fresh green grass, blossoming with yellow dandelions

The dandelions make a path leading you to the entrance of a white sandy beach

Large rocks gather at the edge of a crystalline ocean

Its waves crash lightly against a never-ending shore

Hear them whisper as they reach the rocks

Sit there… on top of the Rock… overwhelmed with peace

Taste the essence of heaven

Think of nothing …

The fretful world has been sealed inside a bottle

You tossed into the ocean… It is lost at sea

Close your eyes and find with me

This place called Serenity…

Stay there... Choose to be at peace

Captivated

His mind is captivated by thoughts unknown to me
Secrets I can't unlock... I don't have the keys
I'd like to enter, but he stops me at the door
He's evasive, giving clues but not full details anymore

Sharing only so much, but it’s simply not enough
He wavers, strays away; losing himself through it all
He's like a storm brewing in the middle of the sea
I'd like to save him from that storm; I'd like to set him free

If it were up to me, I'd pick up the fallen pieces
I’d heal his wounds, glue his heart, and put him back together
But the best I can do is carry him when he falls
Step by step, holding his hand, bringing him to my shelter

I’ll continue to chip away at the wall his heart has built
Brick by brick, stone by stone… I’ll use a rope to climb over
I'll find a way to get to him, through a window if I have to
I’ll dig deep, claw away and find his hidden treasure

That day will come when he is no longer captivated
By his thoughts nor his pain; by the storms nor bad weather
Once again he will be mine, to share our life together
And the past he left behind, he soon will not remember
