Peace of mind
Finding this simple secret when life turns upside down
When life turns upside down
It’s easy to look and blame
Never my own fault, or else I’d be the clown
I assumed strength was a virtue, otherwise, looking lame.
Guaranteed, life will be a rollercoaster
Never a straight path; when the dream’s worthy of a chase
Avoiding shortcuts, bumpy roads and winding curves, colliding into disaster
Flexibility means redirection, counting on resolve; surely relaxation creates sanity, lessening so much haste.
Lacking experience, or any measure of confidence
The failures knocked; my inner voice loud, rude and abrupt
Days of misery and strain morphed into insight and independence
A relief that lead me forward; lest choices go astray; easily corrupt.
Routines and steadfastness, pushed goals over top
Highest value in my thinking; worthy of pursuit, through fat and skinny;
a wish for peace of mind
Balance and declutter; continual and nonstop
The secret; as close as the air I breath; stay focused with present awareness; a treasure of discovery; golden for it’s find.
