I Am At Peace Poem by Savita Tyagi

I Am At Peace

Rating: 5.0


I have aged,
My peer have aged.
Like leaves in fall we leave the stage.

Any day any moment
No RSVP required!
Invitation can't be rejected.

The world has moved
In new directions
Old ways replaced by new ways.

Each passing day
I weave a silvery nest
For my fading memories.

So for each new day
Something old I may find to say
For snowy winter days.

I could spend rest of my time
Sending best wishes to world
Hope a blessed time for new sails.

Or I could curse the waves
Light the world with my hatred
Fume and boil over winter hails.

I prefer to take first option
I am at peace and
Wish for others to live in peace.

I greatly appreciate your lofty sentiments Savita! I too feel almost the same! Yet, not ready to leave this world too soon as I have many more responsibilities to complete! But it is not our choice! However, those who are ready to love and bless the posterity, knowing well that we have to vacate space for them can die in peace! Almost the same sentiments, I have expressed in my poem... An Old man's Prayer! Really enjoyed reading this beautiful poem!

Thank you so much Valsa for your pleasing comment. My moments of peace are as fragile as soap bubbles blown in air! Floating high in air these moments can’t withstand the crushing winds of reality. Still peace is a dream I try to keep alive if only in thoughts and on paper! Thanks for letting me know about your poem. Would love to read it.

I am an old lady I feel like a leaf falling in the autumn air Don't invite me for dinner your birthday party your wedding anniversary or Diwali celebrations I need calm, quiet moments for reflection My memories are now like faded pictures I regret nothing, I cuss no one I am at peace and wish you all peace and happiness. Now time for my meditation and om haray haray haray haray om om haray haray. Amen
