Peace.

The train of thought that seems to go missing

On the tip on my tongue

Dancing its way to form the vision

But I can never quite catch it

The sudden spark which illuminates your world

Even for a split second, a momentary lapse of happiness

You’d forget it was ever dark

The gentle shower of rain that whispers drops on your windows

Not too loud, wary of the late night

But just heavy enough to soothe you from the inside out

Peace.

An ever-eluding feeling

She comes and goes

Says her hellos

Stays for the night

Cradles you in her arms

Until your pillow takes over the weight

Occasionally uninvited but always my favourite guest

Never a chance she could outstay her welcome

Even if sometimes she’s fleeting

My heart is always open

For peace.
