The Serenity Now

I am striding with the feeling of ataraxy in the viridescent rainforest,
There is an undisturbed serenity in the midst of the late evening haze,
You can hear the frogs croaking and the birds twittering,
Droplets are running off the sagging leaves, orchestrated to every drip,
I see a diminutive ray of sunlight, beaming past the elongated branch above,
I can hear the surging, powerful stream of the pulchritudinous wa waterfall,
There is heterogeneity of the fishes in the serene pond under the waterfall,
I see a beam of light spraying at my eyes guiding me outside the rainforest,
I leave the rainforest luxuriated and calm,
I feel... the serenity now.
