…a moments reflection
in sands slowly drawing
self onto the outside of being.

Winds of Wisdom with an
ocean of Love
…flowing.

With time the only tutor
Rest, calm and peace reward tranquility.

Take time, friend,
Rush, haste and worry are old
Enemies that destroy.
This time is our time, now
Forget the fight
And enjoy the freedom rightful,
Plentiful and eternal.
It’s here, it’s ours….
Acceptance in Love.

Out there
Is still conflict politic
Is still hurt romantic
Is still pride in *******…
A joy from power, from rule.

But I lie down.

Out there they can still dictate
For when I see my trouble free dawn
I smile at their struggle
Their stresses to control and repress.

My freedom is sure and eternal
Inside my heart is a joy unbound
That no ruler,
Aggressor,
Or overly proud and self tormented manipulator
Can steal away
For I know my way…
Peace…
Love…
Calm…
Kindness…
Tolerance…

Because they don’t need to be told
And I won’t waste my life telling them.
Pain and hurt are apparent…
If you are its source
Wait
And it will return
To haunt.

So lie down with me
Breathe this fresh earth air
The scent of long awaited rain
The smell of a lover on your skin
See the stars eternal.

And let ‘them’ try and trample your peace
For ‘they’ will try.

But, brother, we have the answer…
Just…
Lie…
Down.
