Peace of Mind
i shall begin a new way of life-
take pride in the medallion strength
that flourished from my ebon shadows
believe a year of turning forty
is a year of new beginnings;
not moments of trudging over hills
but
walking toward the threshold of
peace of mind
why peace of mind?
for way too long, i have been
chained to rusty walls of loss-
cemented to flooded floors
with brass shackles holding me back;
keeping me from following my
dreams
i now sleep in a new bed in a new home
i left behind the triggers to my chase,
threw away pain’s debris-
o, life made a mess of me;
but
now i live content and warm-
hold his hand while we sleep
with a silent peace of mind
why peace of mind?
love grows best in little houses
and mine is perfect
