Today’s serene-place: Hope

Hope and faith a two ingredients that give us the power to achieve and succeed. Everything happens for a reason and if you read between the lines God has something good planned for us. The whole universe is built on an intricate fragile balance, so if there is despair there is hope. Our tranquility lies in the hope that someone is watching over us and has only good intentions in his mind.

Following is a poem I wrote last year to capture the naive nature of my mind, imagining what I could do if I was super powerful and then realizing why things are the way they are. Whenever I am down, I read this poem to find hope and inspiration.

Hope
If I had the power
to stop the storms
silence the thunders
and restore the calms

Freeze the lakes in summer
keep the green in fall
Life would just stand there
with no meaning at all

Pleasure would be pain
if everything were the same
Tears would feel like joy
success would mean losing a game

Happiness means nothing
without the touch of sorrow
If adversity were to vanish
there wouldn't be hope for tomorrow

Like rain turns to frost
and green to gray
Change is the law of nature
for nothing is here to stay

If I can endure this moment
and overcome my fears
For sure as night eclipses the day
my morning is bound to appear
