Peace is in

The fragrance-heart

Of my sleepless meditation.

***

What does peace do? Peace blossoms.

What else? Peace spreads.

What else? Peace illumines.

What else? Peace fulfils.

***

Peace I feel

In infinite measure

When my life becomes

The fragrance

Of my gratitude-heart.

***

I receive peace

In abundant measure

When I take my mind

To fly with me

In my simplicity, sincerity,

Humility and purity-plane

In the Sky of God’s Compassion,

Protection and Satisfaction

***

Peace

Silences the nightmares of the mind.

Peace

Feeds the dreams of the heart.

***

Do not allow the past

To impose itself on you.

Do not allow the future

To come to you unduly fast.

Just try to live

In your today’s peace-world.
