"Joy, not Rust"
In today’s world of lights and dazzling sights,
You may think in life you are finding joy,
In fact your spirit is vexed, taught to fight.
If you follow its ways, you’re this worlds toy.
There is a secret; it stares in our face.
The joy we seek is right here within us,
Fruitless it is, to seek joy in the race.
Such aspirations always lead to rust.

The joy we seek is not in things, the peace we need is not there either. It is in the quiet of nature, in the simple things, the birds, the trees, the water. A walk in the woods, or on the waters edge. The starry nights and the dazzling sunsets.
I will agree with that absolutely, 100%.
