Peace is...

love treated waters,
that wash away all the debris of life.
hushed waves,
penetrated by seashore sunshine.

Peace is...

knowing the memory,
but feeling no pain.

Hearing your coattail,
flap against the wind.
belly laughter,
that makes gem tears
dance down your cheeks.

Moving your head,
slowly, rhythmically.
swaying to the music,
heard only in your soul.

Peace is...

Revelations caught,
And penned on a page,
for the now,
for the coming generations,
for your broken bones,
for your wounded heart.

Peace is...

Having the right amount
of sweetner,
palatable to the soul.

a prescription with limitless refills,
an infinite towering embrace.
my tria juncta in uno,
the highest level of my soulmind,
reaching a new level of knowingness.

That's what peace is for me.
That's what peace does to me.

It intoxicates,
and makes me thrist.


Thanks for caring enough to take the time to read my words. I hope they fill you in places...
