PEACE

No air is present to disturb the shadows on the ground
from trees planted firm and sure in sand of earthly soil
but through the leaves I can hear whispers of your soul
calling me to join you in your search for inner peace.  
  
How sad life’s stormy clouds rain down their pain on you
as alone you wander far from home lost in woods of shame
that move like ghostly monsters in the stillness of the night
and slither up into your brain on deadly silent feet.

But as torrents lash the shore of all the good in you
my hands are waiting in the sea to wipe the stain away
and return you to the world stronger than you were before
and more prepared to honour the message of your dreams.

Would that I could merge all my dreams into your dreams
and clear the sky of clouds to let new life shine through
but I am in the sea – why can’t you swim to me
and let the waves of all of me grant you eternal peace?

Peace is in forgetting the way we were before,
peace is in remembering that nothing stays the same
but the peace I offer you is the knowing that I know
a power not my own has made me love you so!
