Peace Within

We chase through places distant and wide,

Through mountains that echo and oceans that glide,

We stride to loosens the knots held too tight,

Unraveling our fears in the calm of the night.

We seek to soften the roles that we play,

To gently let all our burdens drift far and away.

It's when we find it, steady and deep,

It hushes our hearts and our true self can sleep.

Peace isn’t silence, it’s ease within sounds,

A calm kind of strength when the world spins around.

And when it arrives as it will in time,

We will find it was there, like the soft wind that chimes.

Although it's hidden like the stars in the night,

It's always around us, gentle and bright.

Peace can be found deep in our hearts,

Where all our fears gently depart.
