Peace

Basking in the sun on a warm summer day Closing your eyes and drifting away The day melts into a web of thought as the moon gently masks the sun Spiraling downward towards the menacing dark You search your soul for that life giving spark A hope of love to guide the way to your childhood fun As the stars move in to greet the moon Your inner peace rises to croon A lullaby to sooth the soul and heart All negative thoughts scream as they pass by You’re in control of this wayward ride Keep humming for your destination isn’t far How much you desire to live this life of peace A wish upon a star, some hope, to please that wondering mind so full of discontent and hate You hear and see a familiar face It’s you at age ten just hiding away in the dark and alone begging to be saved You reach out to the boy to embrace him The two of you become one again Exhilarating this must feel to know you are one The light behind you shines to show the way You peacefully walk towards the light with no desire to stay in this dark and disgusting web that the evil of your mind has spun You greet the morning sun with love You gaze upon the sky above searching the heavens for God’s glory The skies don’t open as you sit and pray But a tingling in your heart gives way to the feeling of peace ending so much pain to your story This may happen to you my friend A feeling of loving thyself that never ends So open your heart and let the blissful peace take over your fear It won’t be easy to block the evil and negative thoughts But the alternative is to allow it to fester and rot Within your heart and soul you can hear the screams come near So, steer from this evil place you call home my friend And accept the love, peace, and hope that never ends It’s your world to conquer not the iniquity of pain!
