May Your Days Unfold in Calm

May your days unfold in calm,
your heart be light.
May your life be wrapped in peace and quiet.

May Serenity greet you
at every season’s turn—
no matter the reason,
no matter the world’s concern.

May your soul rest
in waters still and deep,
where quiet reflections cradle
the dreams you keep.

Not a rushing torrent,
not a storm-tossed stream.
May the chaos of days
dissolve like a dream.

May the world’s wild clamour
never breach your heart’s door.
And may you always find a shore
where gentle waves kiss softly,
again and again,
without demand.

May wisdom guide you
to seek the silence you need.
And may courage steady you
to linger where quiet joy is freed.

A peaceful life does not ask
for everything in hand.
It asks for contentment
with what is—
wherever you stand.

Dance in the rain
when the spirit moves you so.
And sit in stillness too,
simply watching it flow.

And may you discover—
deep within your own chest—
that place called home.
The place where peace abides.
The place where you
finally
rest.
