The mind is as a pool of water.
The ripples roll to its outer border's.
The tranquil pool is as still as glass.
Till some thought makes a big splash.
And every discorse that come your way.
Makes the pool rocky of ripple water that sway.
To calm the mind and control the thoughts.
Tranquility of a still pool is sought.
The ripples barely there.
The mind fully aware.
Stillness will come from the calm mind.
The heart that is humble and kind.
Some one comes along and tosses in a stone.
The rippled pool has grown.
The choice of raging water splash.
Or wisely calm the mind, don't lash.
Then tranquility sought for around.
In the calmness is found.

jthserraabout 20 years agoexcellent tranquil images, and you are saying something profound here. Unfortunately, the lines didn't flow together very comfortably, which made your rhyme seemed forced. I'll email you with recommendations.

Annoraabout 20 years agoI am here to state this man shows great talents in every endeavor of his wishes. He is a man with imagination that keeps placing him in the fore front.
There are some that after they read his works they can't find fault in his orginality so they pick upon his grammer.
They are always the short sighted mean spirited ones. They are always and will always exist.They are the ones that seem to need to be the first the best. No matter how they get there.
His talents aren't short sighted nor mean spirited his is for the pleasures of his readers.
His pleasure is to titillate the readers fron the first word to the last. This is something he does effortlessly.
Another great facet Art. Thank you from all the readers.
