I Feel Peace

I feel peace

when I awake at 5:30

AM

too tired still

to even think slightly about everything that has

gone terribly wrong

the night

before.

Still asleep in many ways, too immobile yet

to ponder

why

when

or

what had happened.

I feel peace

in the first sip of the morning's coffee

the only sip an addict truly needs

is that first

one

that relieves the caffiene withdrawled

body with it's

essence of

perfection.

I feel peace when

everything around me

is angry

with

themselves, but take it out

on me

because I know in my

heart

that I have done

nothing to deserve

their

hate.

I feel peace in the middle of the night

in the darkest morning hour

the TV is gazing and the moon and sun

are both risen

at the same time,

when everyone in town

in the state

in the world

seems to me, paralyzed,

they cannot bother me here

or barge in unwanted

or make me encounter

more unpleasant

memories.

I feel peace

when I am drowning in the sorrows

of Dionysus

and his

wine

when I know I do not have to move

from my bed

from this exact spot

in order

to make

new

friends.

Cheers, clapping sounds

Hoorah.

Let the Elvis fans

sing their

songs.

You've done much to deserve love and adoration in the writing of this rhythmic read about my favorite subject, Peace. Stay in bed, suck caffein, contemplate, meditate, and continue to write.
Peace and Love,
