Inner Peace

I don’t know why I’m feeling down,
but sadness fills my heart.
My breathing’s slow, my mind’s withdrawn,
this mood will not depart.
I have not got the energy
that usually fills my life.
I want to sit and rest my soul
from all life's daily strife.

There’s no particular reason
why right now I feel this way,
a lethargy just fills my thoughts
as my mind drifts away
to lands I knew on far off shores
where sunshine warmed my day,
while I lay on the golden sands
just passing time away.

I feel that I should meditate
to try to clear my mind
and listen to my inner self
to see what I can find.
The reason for this mood I’m in
is slowly coming clear,
it’s others linking with my soul,
I feel that friends are near.

Their presence I hold dearly,
so a little time I’ll find
to sit with them a moment
while they nestle in my mind.
To share their love of living
I’m now joined with them as one,
for the peace that they are bringing
is much warmer than the sun.

This mood I thought was sadness,
now a quietness of my soul,
bathed in the gentle presence
of those who’ve joined the whole,
is a time for quiet reflection
though I’d thought that I been down,
in my mind I’d been mistaken
for it's ‘Inner Peace’ I’ve found.

Ivor G Davies


The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

Ivor, I am tucking this exceptional piece of soul-searching, soul-touching writing into my treasure trove of poetry that has significant meaning for me.

Lovely poem, lovely spirit, lovely man.

Namaste

you have described it well, it is a sort of yearning, in which I love to bath...not sad, but more so a knowing of unexplainable senses...yanno?

well done
