Peace

Looking for peace I left the country 

To a land far away, filled with mountains and trees 

Farms and horses, even the seas and the shore 

Didn’t give me the peace I was looking for 

Looking for peace I came back home

Where care and connection would feed my soul 

Not food, nor chatter; it only made me fatter

I couldn’t find the peace that would matter 

Looking for peace I changed my profession

To this and that, it followed in succession 

Left chasing clients and conquering quests 

Still didnt find the peace to keep my mind at rest 

Looking for peace in the arms of love I chose to rest 

Felt whole and complete, for a second at best 

Went through ups  and downs, frictions and frowns 

Really not the best place to find peace in town 

Looking for peace, tired and restless 

This life went by, searching for bliss 

I stopped by the woods, rested my back on a tree 

Took a deep breath, and suddenly felt free 

In that moment, when I left the trail of the chase 

Peace found me, held me in embrace 

With each breath, not in the future nor past 

Here I was, present, peaceful at last
