When Tranquility Seems Worlds Away

 

 

When your world is on fire
And tranquility seems worlds away
Just close your eyes and hold out your hands
Give your emotions a chance to play

Think of something more refreshing
Feel it within your heart
Let it overpower you
And bring about a brand new start

When your heart is falling apart
And love seems like it has died
Think back and reminisce
Of the joyful tears that you've cried

Open your heart to newer things
Explore nature's changing ways
Welcome them in with open arms
And your sadness will fade away

When tranquility seems worlds away
Motivate yourself to move on
Forget about your wicked past
And feed on the encouragement
That you've come upon

Smile with every passing minute
Breathe happy and positive breaths
Give your heart some time to heal
For you will truly feel blessed

Seek fortune and fame
Be meek and humble
Patience will do you good
Be happy that you are alive
Do things you never thought you could

Make friends with strangers
Be helpful and kind
Be a role model and a mentor
Keep tranquility in mind

When anger gets the best of you
And someone is starting a fight
Tell yourself that you are better
Keep your eye on that shining light

Every day is always different
Unpredictable and cruel
But when you've conquered tranquility
You'll find yourself in a world of new










 

 

 

Author notes

Option 3: Inspire ME!
Write a piece that inspires me!




My chosen word is "Tranquility"

I think that this is the most beautiful word in the English language because, despite how much greed, animosity, sadness, power, and joy we have in our lives we
are always in search of tranquility. Even when we think we have conquered it like money, we always desire more. Tranquility keeps us together in good times and bad. Though, sometimes we really have to strive to find and keep it in our lives.

We've all been in terrible situations we thought would never end and sometimes, ultimately give up. Find that place of peace inside of you! This poem is for everyone who could use a little inspiration. Thanks for reading and take care!

    Wonderful write; now wonder all the golds! Reminds me of the Led Zepplin song "Stairway to Heaven." I think the best lines are: "Tell yourself that you are better
    Keep your eye on that shining light" - good job!

    Beautiful write. I don't usually like rhyme, but this was very well-done. :]

    "When your heart is falling apart
    And love seems like it has died
    Think back and reminisce
    Of the joyful tears that you've cried"

    Such an uplifting stanza. I love it. ^_^ This made me smile. Thanks for entering.

    Your explanation of the choice of word was poetry in itself. Beautiful. I like the line, "Do things you never thought you could," it was very inspiring. Thank you for the entry, best wishes!
