Serenity

JEAN M. LANGERMAN

Serenity is not
resolute repression
of the dissonances
but expression
of the calm beyond the senses—
an opening out to Spirit
and making no concession
to the nipping, testing clamor
of the daily little foxes.
True self-possession
of that self involved in
living harmonies of Soul
drowns out all aggression.
