In-Dwelling Peace
IN-DWELLING PEACE
I went up and down in quest of peace
Indeed! I found one: an illusion
I proceeded in my hurt for peace
Obviously my bullet hit one
A wealth of joy filled my being
But was a wolf in sheep clothing
Down cast for shooting a wrong target
Enraged, furious, frustrated!
Aware of my illusion, I press further
With empire of enthusiasm I move
More conscious of what comes
But non resemble PEACE
I advanced the search
Patience and courage were wearing
Perturbed the propeller broken
I realized it dwell not on earth
Weary becomes my patience and courage
The gut to advance faded
Now camped and fed by perturbation
Agitation became the air I breathe
It dawn on me that PEACE, has no abode
Hold and embraced by illusion
I stumbled across an ancient treasure
Flipping the pages, was arrested
Behold, what I have been looking for
Reside in this scroll, PEACE
No wonder, no wonder
They call it the word of PEACE
