Serenity

Koi and lilies, cherry blossoms abloom
Calligraphic history engraved upon tombs
In a tucked away sanctuary, hidden from view
Was where I felt serene thinking about you
Stone, resin, stone, ancient fear of the other
Beauty in defense of the elegant structure
When time showed the barriers we build are not new
Was when I felt serene thinking about you
On a scale unprecedented in the places I've been
I sensed trillions of thoughts in billions of heads
A certain assurance that what I thought was true
Was how I felt serene thinking about you
In manicured gardens with lovers on laps
Came toil-aged smiles from mouths full of gaps
Sun-squinted stares reminding me that I knew
Why I feel serene thinking about you
