Poem Title:
Poem
a hot cup of tea ... a walk in nature ... my own garden of blooming flowers these are some things that bring me inner peace I have stopped chasing happiness now, I let ... happiness find me ~ I accept that I am human and not all that perfect and I know all my flaws and still, still ... I love the calm me ... I have become ~ my fluffy grey kitty cat writing, sketching, creating art and photography all these bring harmony into my heart and soul and journaling to manage my thoughts and feelings ... these spell bliss to me ~ letting go of toxic people who lie, gossip and bully for I have found my beautiful moral compass and there is a great power in living by my own beliefs ~ kindness, gratitude, prayer and meditation and choosing my battles for there is strength in turning away this is finding paradise on Earth now, I only let tranquility leave my lips and I let only serenity dwell in my heart I have found my own Nirvana in accepting God's hand ... in quietude and stillness for only when 'alone' in my mind does he find me ~ everyday, I declutter the stuff drifting in my mind I just let it go .. to float away until there is nothing left sometimes, I even step back from all technology and even ... leave my cellphone at home for what is so important ... that I should let it destroy my peacefulness ~ _______________ May 20, 2021 Poetry/Free Verse/Contemplating Peace Copyright Protected, ID 05-1356-986-20 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, What Brings You Peace sponsor, Chantelle Anne Cooke, Judged 05/23/2021 First Place
