Calm

Today, I woke up seeking calm
where do you find it, I wonder
is it found in the morning's rising sun
is it found in the robin redbreast's song
is it found in a field of wild dandelions
is it found in the sway of maple trees

Can you tell  me, where calm is

Today, I woke up seeking calm
where do you find it, I wonder
is it in the warmth of the noontime sun
is it in the turtle slowly making it's way
is it in the heron patiently seeking a meal
is it in the whispers of the birch trees

Can you tell me, where calm is

Today, I woke up seeking calm
where do you find it, I wonder
is it found in a tangerine and crimson sunset
is it found in the beat of my humble drum
is it found in the songs unsung in my heart
is it found in the beauty of magnolia trees

Can you tell me, where calm is

  2. I guess we can find it anywhere we look. Yes, while peeling that tangerine. (Or watching golf!)
