My Description of Peace
Icicles nailed within my heart,
Hopelessly I wait on my wheelchair;
My eyes; a gloomy sky,
So predictable it’s going to rain
Its Peace I require, Its Life I fight for
Without God my soul is dead;
My spirit flows low
Life cannot be spent; maudlin
I thought despair was worth a try
Inexorable pain; from within
Interminably, showers from inside;
Misconstrued; lavish
Circumstances; what a coincidence
…Its abrupt; all begin to change!
And then one day, I’ve crossed the river;
Like a dove; I’m now free
Put a stop to the quiver;
Restart life, but with help; Pardee
Oh! Is that joy I hear?
Cherishable memories will once again greet!
I’ve found Hope, I’ve found Peace;
My life no more an endless song;
It’s now time for sadness to cease
A nature infused with limitless inspirations,
When the thoughts I think translate into prayer,
Wonderful miracles yet not discovered;
Destinations… Do I dare?
Relief… The victory is mine!
The good succeed
The bad perish
Let peace and hope proceed
Out there; is an entirely different description?
An exquisite piece of advice;
Let it all be temptations, and BELIEVE!
