Elusive Peace
How can I find it?
Peace
How do I find you?
Are you the sovereign one
shining from above?
I thought I knew
maybe I do
somewhere inside
where I hide
When so many years
we were taught to fear
I was so young
when uncertainty begun
How can I find peace again?
Please tell me?
I can find it in life
under the strife
those moments are fleeting
and then I am retreating
Believing what I cannot see
is that the key?
I guess I’ll cling on to it
and see you not as fear
but as love
yet, you are so far above
Faith
it doesn’t happen from sitting in that space
one that felt so cold
fire and brimstone
a lesson that I learned
so long ago
The sun tries to shine
these glimmers of hope I find
I will try
and I have to accept
I may never know why

I find peace with my cats, taking walks, and doing yoga. Meditation helps, too. When I'm feeling off, I listen to a guided meditation. Oh, and there's nothing like a shower to get back on track. 😻🚶🏻♀️🧘🏻♀️🚿
My mom found peace working in her flower beds. It was her therapy she said. She was a country girl born about a quarter mile from the home she raised her family.
She raised different flowers because she found them pretty in a catalogue. She would order them and decide where to plant them. Under her loving care they would grow. Only a few people knew of the flowers in full bloom at her home. When she was found we believe she was planting some new Iris's she had just received. She was outside next to a freshly tilled area with some Iris bulbs next to her. I didn't see her but a friend of ours that I asked to check on her told me.
