Ataraxia
A mind of dedicated care, untroubled by ennui,
has ataraxia achieved and ranks evermore free.
A mind of implacable hope, untroubled by misdoubt,
has ataraxia achieved and turns up as blissed-out.
A mind of all-inclusive peace, untroubled by mankind,
has ataraxia achieved and needs no further find.
A mind of persevering goal, untroubled by chaos,
has ataraxia achieved and circumvents each loss.
A mind of impervious faith, untroubled by distrust,
has ataraxia achieved and proves a state august.
A mind of harmonious love, untroubled by discord,
has ataraxia achieved and grants its own reward.
A mind of significant truth, untroubled by deceit,
has ataraxia achieved and feels simply complete.
