Like marshmallows disintegrating in chocolate
The snow can drip from my hair, but I am safe
Locked in this blanket; my mind tucked in a book
Peace is water, and I would know
Suspension in the cool body of molecules
Catching me, flowing around me, I am safe
Floating in a pool of ethereal; my mind muted by pressure
Peace is stillness, and I would know,
I used to be one with the entire world
and I knew the secrets, I listened
To the wind, the trees, that creek in my yard
Peace is the dance, and I would know
My spirit and I waltzed our way to Europe
And at a hidden wishing well, I spilled
My silent prayer to ripple the water
Peace feels smoky, and I would know,
Like the Orient and Tolkien dancing in dad's pipe
The distant thunder in his voice, and I am safe
Locked in his arms; my mind tucked asleep
Wow Amanda. That's fabulous.
