Know Your Peace

THE DUST SETTLES ON AN ANCIENT STORY

YET HERE IT IS, STILL IN MY BODY

THE ONLY WAY IS TO LISTEN AND BE STILL.

HOW I FIGHT NOT TO LISTEN,

BUSYING WITH GOALS AND THINGS TO DO.

IS IT ENOUGH SIMPLY TO KNOW PEACE?

DO I HAVE NEEDS BEYOND THESE CLOTHES,

THIS WATER AND ROOF, THIS FOOD?

STRUGGLE BEGETS STRUGGLE,

WE ARE ALL LIVING PROOF.

SO I WILL REST, RELAX

AND LETTING THE LIGHT FILL ME UP,

IN PURE SANCTIONED STILLNESS,

I BEGIN TO KNOW HOPE,

I BEGIN TO BE PEACE.
