For I Am At Peace

Free-verse

Turn a thin shoulder

Blind a shallow reddened eye

You won’t get a glance,

Not a reaction

For I am at peace

With the makings of this world

The flows, the ebbs, and lows

For it to mend, and the gifts it bestows

No longer is there taint, hatred running so deep

A vein of lament, regret and self-hate

Lining the edgy mass that once was myself

For I am at peace

What lay in my core that can be scorn?

Is but retribution, for coming transgression

Even that, if given time, can strip away

There is no room for a lining of any kind

No matter how coarse, how soft, or luxurious

For I am at peace

Only water now, simple, flexible, and

Able to fill ones cup, and tear ones home from under

 Maybe crash, maybe soothe, maybe

Just maybe, a cool breeze, and a soft touch

Will allow the waters to cease

Cease seclusion, cease indifference

Cease the innate ability to gradually pull

Away from shore, upon entering,

For that time to come, I have not the slightest clue

However, I can patiently wait, wait for you

For I am at peace
