Best Calm Poems

Calm is the silt beneath the waves
The measured heartbeat of the brave
It is the fragile petal born
From gardens of pernicious thorns
A velvety cadence under
The jagged footfalls of thunder
The pearlescent aura you breathe
From centers of calamity

Calm is elusive murmurs heard
Where sharp cacophony is stirred
Into harsh, unrelenting...

Calm Waves On Peaceful Seas							  
							  
Within Nature rests a rose scented breath
Its whispers a call against mortal death,
    When brother sun it tempts to rise and shine
	Sets dawn and morning light to this define,

Rest yourself here where water lies calm
    still, you could fly
              to perch on tempestuous cloudy bank
    perhaps to remain

The bulbs hum with color in this off-white cube.
I move slowly, to catch the glimpse that's doob. 
I wobble and drift through the sails of my mind.
Searching for peacefulness in this sleepless rind.

Outside forces can feel remote and far away.
I stalk a distant...

Know you are the absolute best,
The new kid has given a test.
You stayed calm cool, and collected,
So completely unaffected,
His childish behavior a test


We are watching you here at the school
Your resistance makes some of us drool.
He is almost on our last nerve,
Taking some around the...

Adrift in the darkness, canvas sail gleams,
night sky aglow with satiny moonbeams.
Calm winds tread over a nonchalant sea
the world revolves in perfect harmony.

Inside a heart, waves crash upon a shore
turbulent weather lasts forever more.
A love that once breathed life into her sails
was but a flurry,...

In the Calm of Blue

Under a soft serene sky I lie
swathed in a blanket of white clouds.
Sing me a sweet lullaby,
and free me of all cares
in the calm of cool,
mesmerizing,
comforting,
silent 
blue....

Unrest is the tempestous,
world seems out of favor...
malignant beseem the superflous,
sour,ill-tempered neighbors...
But...
The grass is always greener,
at your side of our choosing...
you've made me a believer,
love's hallmark unites fusing...
You are,
The soft to my hard
a sheath for my sword,
like whisperings of a bard
you are the calm to...

Calm
Following an ice cold calm night
Winter sun bathes a splendid sight
Icicles pirouette to ground 
Nature's ballet dance does astound
Winter wraps herself round the scene
A frosty regal beauty Queen 
Clothed in a fetching wintry gown
Lustrous as diamonds in a crown.

Robins bop along, feathers fanned
Upon Earth's dazzling...

The radiance of day withdrawn
An old moon a lamp up high;
A barn owl  keeps still across the lawn
While orioles decide to fly.

Robins nestle for the night,
Sky paints a deep shade of blue
Even the gust falls with the light;
So we shall take our rest too.

Evening...

Harbour your vessel in the sea of life
In calm water or safe shores
Avoid wild raging ocean storms
Keep your vessel safe and secure

Wild weather and furious waves
Vessel control you may lose
In the eye of a frenzied storm
You may end up battered and bruised

Huge swells will toss...

When the mind stops, blank without thought,
It goes to a place of sanity sought.
For sanity is to chaos’ distain,
That place where silence and calm are gain.

It’s from this place of quiet and calm,
That peace can bring a healing balm.
As soothing as a soft cool breeze,
This...

In my countryside, silent at sunset
Long gone is the stress, long gone is the fret,
Long gone is the need to be so wide-eyed
Silent at sunset, in my countryside

Calm now are my skies with their colors bold
Streaks of blue marry with orange and gold,
My mind long...

Calm appears following a ferocious storm
As clouds turn marshmallow white again,
In the stillness, nature returns to a norm.

Drifting across patches of deep blue sky
The clouds resume their cottony shapes
As we observe them lazily passing by.

Our souls are soothed by the silence,
Following the loud thunder and...
