Piece of Peace

Piece of Peace My heart is peaceful now. Ceased the raking and clawing, trying to escape my breast. It has finally found its home. Found, but never lost, its place on earth, The red vessel wandered to find what it thought was lost But never really was at all. To search the rooms and chambers of the world of knows, To learn through pain and conflict great and small That what leads your life is not what you think but how you feel. Too connected to disconnect. My read head lead and the other did follow. Back to front I walked for a score and four Then turned upside down by my heart once more So I sit with my grass and it tickles and itches The memories soften but not without twitches From now until I meet the ground I will not walk backwards again I have a piece of peace that grows now without nurture.
