Wake In Peace

There        is
                             PEACE
When the eyes close
And the heart expands
Beating
    Beat      by     beat
To FEEL
Is to be
At     PEACE
Finally
Lastly
After     years      of living
In the blatantly
Rude mundane existence of
SOCIETY.

Life is a quest for     
                        Peace
In those little moments 
       When the eyes close
                 And the heart expands
                        And the breath keeps us keeping on
To life
Despite the brash         reality
Do not die when you are         awake
Just do not       live       a life of death
Like so many        drifters
Fading in the        wind
Letting time pass
                           On
And move
                           On
Until the end comes chasing.

Find      peace      in life
Live on while you are alive
And FEEL
There is no other way
              To endure
                        Pain on earth
                                 Suffering of the heart
                                              Loss and famine and guilt
There is      peace
If only we seek it
If only we greet it
If only we weave it.
​
Be        peace
Be at       peace
Be with       peace.

Hence the words:
Rest in peace.
