Peace

Peace

You are the breath of wind

Touching my face

You are the friend

Who knows just the right time to call

Or offer a warm embrace

Peace

You are the energy I sense

When the soul of me overrides my fearful mind

That sometimes makes a mix up of things

Or focuses on thoughts that are very far from kind

Peace

I know you are not a passive thing

But rather come with choice

With a sense of where to put our focus

When to express

And when to silence our voice

Peace

You are a wonder

A grace I no longer wish to live without

You remind me of my blessings

And when the time to scream and shout

Is over

Because I realise

With the benefit of reflection

On progress rather than perfection

I would rather choose

Peace
