Serenity
tiny jingles as I walk
down the halls of this zoo
no one sees them wrapped
around my ankle
the bells that fill the air with their joyful ringing
they are my secret
sounding with every step
they hide beneath the leg of my slacks
bringing peace with their music
"and the wisdom to know the difference"
with every step
peace
light
joy
love
and a thought of you
