Storm

 God, 

Grant me peace

Serenity

A desire

To look inward

Not want 

What the world

Tries to sell

Don’t react

Live in harmony

With self

And find

That what

I want 

Isn’t anything

That I can hold

Yet holds me

Let me not

Become an explosion

Upon detonation

But a calm presence

In the storm

  5. And yet I'm reacting to the news. I can maintain my calm in the midst of the storm, but I must acknowledge the strength of the storm.
