poem ~ the calm

The calm of the water
brings a peace to my soul,
When life is raging
and seems out of control.

The calm of the water
to draw me right in,
And give me perspective 
when mine has gone thin.

The calm of the water
to release and let go,
Of things hurting deeply
with Friendships I know.

The calm of the water
and a chance to restore, 
My focus and hope
with love to the core.

The calm of the water
and ability to live,
With grace and understanding 
in the challenges life gives.

The calm of the water 
is encouragement to me,
To live from the heart
and be fully set free.
