Silence, serenity, tranquility and stillness

It keeps the water from moving with the wind

No sounds, no disturbances, no illness

Nothing to disturb the state it is in

And this calm water will hold the thought

Of contentment and the peace which all has sought



Some look at the calming waters and reflect into their souls

And think about life and how sometimes it holds still

And as the clouds roll in, the rain starts pouring in woes

That one remembers and hits them giving their bodies a chill

They rain disturbed the calmness of the waters causing ripples

Problems that one endures like when their dream becomes crippled



The rain falls harder and harder and making the water move

Slowly at first, the storm like a fight, it starts

It beats the still surface penetrating it to prove

That one drop can carry on the fighters' hearts

Nothing is easy and there are disagreements and high walls

Every drop beating upon the last growing violent as the rain falls



Water is content when it holds still

And so violent when it has the will
