- Peace of Mind -

Let the waves carry me to a new destination
  My mind needs peace - this is not an individual epidemic
  The feeling of a great urgency about things that must be done
  Thinking of all truth that I once held divine
  Deny the shadows of unnecessary deeds and words
  No matter how hard I try - silence finds me
  Silent tears in the desert dries out among small sand grains
  I can be in my own cosmos and let peace adopt my soul

Sometimes Poetry speaks more than straight, normal text may express...this poem is wonderfully, expressively captivating - as a fan of poetry: I am fully and gratefully captured!, Ewen

Very descriptive words that define many, yet personal to the protagonist, who makes clear this is a crisis of many. Good work. I did get the feel you could have gone on with this, perhaps doubled up on it. Thomas

This is very unique and beautifully well written Anne Lise. I want to appologize for the other day, As an American girl in the literary world I sometimes am rude for I write in journalism, all kinds of creative work besides poetry. I have columns in newspapers. I am so sorry if I hurt your feelings. You are a very sweet female writer here. This is not just good poetry here that you have, it is excellent and this is your second language! You are gifted to do this. Take good care, Cindy Lu

This is lovely and touching, Anne Lise! Life is too fast and complicated. From time to time we need to re-gather our thoughts and recuperate our physical and mental strength. There is nothing better than finding a quiet haven of silence and peace to do so. Have a lovely day. /x/ paul
