The Ninth Poem

The Ninth Poem May 29, 2022


Can it be true? Peace at last?

I think so. Let them work it out.

Why should I suffer because of

their fight? I see no reason for

their anger. Let it go. Look at

the bright light announcing

another day. Hear the rooster

celebrating. He has the right

idea. Enjoy your peacefulness.

Right now. Right here on a 

Sunday morning with no traffic, 

no loud noises. Inside or out.

You can be as peaceful, too.

Find your courage. Hear your

steady heart beat. You’re awake

while the house sleeps. Someone

pulled up onions and left them

on the table. They’re at peace.

The rooster sings peace. My

heart sings peace. No need

to worry. I’m alive, I’m one

year older. If I’m quiet and

relaxed, my peace will 

ascend. I can let go.
