The Inner Peace

When walking in the night, 
I saw a snake lying in the street
No awareness seemed she has had,  
That could crush her to die 

I found the busy  vehicles, 
All had broad bright eyes 
That assured of spotting the snake 
And avoid crushing her to death

I reckoned was sighted by the snake, 
Seemed she feared not of our met 
I hoped I wouldn't be too scared, 
Have had steady steps

Note: The Philosophy embedded          

Inner Peace has to be rooted in a sense of security, which comes from either the intentional avoiding like the drivers do, or unwilling to hurt, like the snake does.
