A Late-Winter Day (in 2015)
I lost a piece of my soul today.
I lost it.
And I think that only peace
Might help me find it.
Peace.
But where do I find peace?
Probably not among
The crumbled ruins
Of shortsightedness.
And probably not in the aftermath
Of those who outright refused
To look and see.
But I will find it.
I will find peace.
It’s a combination
Of remembering love
And figuring out
What I truly believe.
It’s a great and mighty thing, you know,
That I am in charge
Of my own reality.
It will harbor the hope
That will guide my mind
To where my lost piece of soul
Might be.
