A peaceful day
On the front porch
Lacks the drama
And passion
Of a hurricane.
Waxing poetic
About tranquility
Isn't as romantic
As the raw emotions
Stirred by darker days.
The Zen of being
In the quieter moments
Lacks the tempestuousness
Of the Rapture.
A relaxing day on the deck
May be nice
But it's nothing to write about.
