At Peace Without Even Dying Poem by Lyn Paul

At Peace Without Even Dying



Acceptance, serenity, hope, pain, heartache and trust
Have brought me peace

Acceptance
Along time it has taken
Serenity
Has guided me my whole life
Hope And dreaming
Encouraged me through survival
Pain
Of a loveless sometimes what seemed brutal childhood
Pain
Too of trauma, health and seeing death
Heartache
Of losing and breaking those vowels

Now trust has brought me
A special love
A love of acceptance
True living
The understanding of not being able to change anything
Not a simple Thing

Trust has brought me
A beautiful connection
Of another being
Who's ears, eyes, spirit and true heart
Of giving, guiding, friendship, laughter with acceptance
Have been thrown at me

I caught them all
In the healthiest, happiest way
I am truly
At Peace Without Even Dying

I think you have gained this peace through a life of pain and disappointment- a life that most of us have experienced in one way or another- -but you claimed victory. Love this poem and its message and I thank you for sharing it!

Gorgeous Poem! Beautifully expressed. Has a peaceful and dignified aura about it. Reaches the heart and soul of the reader in a most natural, sincere and open way. There is a prayer that says Please God, let me accept what I cannot change The full truth, wisdom and beauty of this prayer is in this poem with a very deep, personal touch. An unforgettable work and far reaching gem.

if i say nothing else here, my need to 'suggest changes' in a poem commands that i question this [[it seems i 'missed' this in my earlier comments, OR did you change the poem since i first read it, i wonder]]: Of losing and breaking those vowels............vowels? how about vows? at least you didn't have (in the poem that is) bowels, ...........although you must have had guts to persevere in your life and come out triumphant! ! (to continue) ...

wow Lyn i found so much feeling scattered in this work, lost and found and when we feel so low we thought die is able to put out all pain from us, but once we claim a victory against the bad battle and found happiness back to us...it seems death is not a way to survive from this badness, but to keep life as it goes on with smile with warmest heart..nice way of victory
