Inner Peace

I don’t know why I’m feeling down but sadness fills my heart, my breathing’s slow, my mind’s withdrawn, this mood will not depart. I have not got the energy that usually fills my life, I want to sit and rest my soul from all my daily strife. There’s no particular reason why just now I feel this way, a lethargy just fills my thoughts, I’d like to drift away. To lands I knew on far off shores where sunshine warmed my day, when I lay on the golden sand just passing time away. I feel that I should meditate to try to clear my mind and listen to my inner self to see what I can find. The reason for this mood I’m in is slowly coming clear, it’s others linking with my soul, I feel that friends are near. Their presence I hold dearly so a little time I’ll find to sit with them a moment while they nestle in my mind. To share their love of living I am joined with them as one for the peace that they are bringing is much warmer than the sun. So the mood I thought was sadness was a quietness of my soul, I’d mistook the gentle presence of the one’s who’d joined the whole. They’d a lesson for my feelings, though I thought that I was down, in my mind I’d been mistaken it was inner peace I’d found. Ivor G Davies
