Peace Amid Turbulence

Mind wandering, alarming thoughts lance the mind.
Awakened amid turmoil, blinded by fear, chaos confines.
Nowhere to disappear, anxiety grips with immobility.
Pungent odors intoxicating, thoughts reek with instability.

Frustrated to no end, lost in uncertainty, desperation stirs.
Hopeless, sinking fast, atmospheric assaulting explodes.
All seen and heard, brain fog reigns uncontrolled.
Gasping for air, setting sights on cruciality, we ponder.

How senseless, lambasting those who oppose.
Lost in senseless viciousness, skirmishes linger in haze.
Looking peaceably on all differing, caustic air dissipates.
Discovering lost times, thoughts anew awaken to stability.

Peace rescuing the soul, turbulence gives way to strength.
Focusing on atmospheric goodness, darkness unravels.
Embracing newness, uncertainty dead, stability unshackles.
Mobility restored; life’s purpose enlightens to days ahead.

Free to soar, limitless, we tread fearlessly in life’s adventures.
Hope restored, enjoyment accompanying, we live freely.
No longer alarmed, thoughts give space to others.
Respecting one another regardless, we live peaceably.


But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.

2 Timothy 3:1-4
