Finding Tranquility

I attended the university

for my classes,

as part of a degree in science.

I moved from class to labs—

but never rushed back home,

just like that.

I spent abundant time

in the lovely campus

full of flora and fauna,

with my camera in hand.

Such joy it was,

watching the wonders

and capturing them.

They dispelled my stress

and filled my heart with grace.

I continued this practice

for three years,

and I’m very proud of it,

for this wellbeing rituals.

Why should we miss

the free resources,

and little joys life offers?

Just imagine sitting there,

a tranquil, secluded corner,

with only plants around,

visited by bees and butterflies,

doves and finches,

sunbathing lizards,

and feral cats.

Remember readers,

we craft our own happiness.

It comes in many forms,

we don't complain,

we mindfully seek them,

attaining peace and Zen.
