Inner Peace Poem by j. saca

The sun shines and it’s a new day
I’ve forgotten yesterday. An orange

glow massages a bountiful landscape

the sky is a perfect blue
the day is a crisp dream

out of this bliss there is
a tree. A simple symbol
of life,
bearing fruit, teaching me
the meaning of these new
feelings, this new appreciation
I have towards life, peace
Is here. By the tree,

A fruit hangs on a branch and clings
To dear life.

Peace calls me
I hear its voice echo and reel me
in towards a vast, open field,
where grasses, orange and green
Golden
Brown.

Welcome me to my inner sanctuary.
A place I can honestly
call home. I’m here.
Nothing will stand in the way
of my peace of mind. I see

another tree
It beckons me to lie beside it and read
A book nearby, I do not look at the cover

I open its pages and
Let myself go

A breeze blows each page
I finish. I continue lulling
Myself into this ultimate
Experience

The wind blowing through the grass
Fuses with my inner sanctuary. It has
Become part of me, part of
The trees. Grass, sunlight,

All of nature is upon me,
I am a product of this
inner beauty.

Sitting under the tree
Finished pages turning

I’ve arrived
