Finding Peace, Or the Obituary

Some find peace on a summer's day, in whispering leaves as branches sway. Some find peace in lover's arms, feeling they are safe from harm. Some find peace in children's song, whose youth does not yet know of wrong. Some find peace in their own silence, feeling there's no need for violence. My days are done, I've no more pain, and I find peace in the rain.
