SERENITY

By Molly Nunamaker

Word on the Street Issue 40, February 2024

. . .

Show me serenity so I can find more serendipitous moments.

Show me mercy so that I can find where my heart belongs.

Bring me peace so that I may no longer grieve.

Bring me harmony so my own self I can retrieve.

Show me love so I may rise above.

My heart now soaring like a dove.

Joy and Hope come to me now.

In the night I no longer have to prowl.
