Internal Peace
A home welcomes in peace.
It’s home, which those I love stay.
Peace.
The relaxation of my muscles,
Felt throughout my whole body.
Peace falls upon me
Throughout my day
Little by little
Calmness.
When I
dance in a dark, empty room
my body moves on its own
left.
Right.
Up.
Down.
Contracting
then letting go
The way I move around
It’s muscle memory
Serenity.
Walking through and experiencing nature
Snow slowly falling,
Leaves crunching under my feet,
The sun’s heat beating down on my face
Content.
When I’m in the arms of the one I love most.
Looking into their eyes
Sharing long conversations
Hearing other’s thoughts and opinions.
Peace.
And
Calmness.
When the scent of my favorite candle catching fire
or my coffee brewing
unravels
peace
and serenity
It is the felling of normality
And safety
Which brings one peace
Knowing what is coming next
No questioning
Yourself,
Or the motion going on around you
Peace.
Calmness.
Serenity.
Content.
One long inhale and exhale.
The sound of silence.
…
It’s the connection between the cognitive mind and the soul.
Peace is felt throughout the entirety of my limbs.
When time becomes quiescent.
A home for me to be at peace.
