PeaceA Poem by Penelope LeeIs their peace in life, a new place to hide? The fierce swiftness of the tide, pulls me in and pushes me aside. The comfort leaving me tonight, leaving me breathless
without clear sight, I cannot figure out. Is this something I can stand to think about? In my dreams and
in my plans without a doubt. This is the time, this is the dance, The rhythm and the beat, brings a life to my feet, this
romance. In my heart and soul, the fire burns without control. The shifting and the glide and pull of the crowd. This is the plight, the beat of my bleeding heart from inside out. Never is now the time, the rhythm and the rhyme, today begs a fighting chance. The hidden fire of the heat, flies like a kite, keeps the strength
but we can only glance. Is their peace in
this life? A place to go, to be rid of the strife? Is there a chance, a helping hand, who can help me make the
wrong things right. We take this on , and talk about, the cold, around us that
lurks in balance. Is it time to remind us to keep living without the pain of
the past that is keeping us challenged? The wonder of creating a smile out of a frown. We try to keep our world together, while facing a time to drown.
This is the time, the time is now. Is there peace in this life? We may not have to think twice,
this the fight, The battle for rights, the time for the rise and fall of
our lives, and our feelings inside. Up around and down and out, It may be that we will never figure
this out. © 2017 Penelope Lee |
