Peace Of Mind Poem by Barbara Clafton

Peace Of Mind

Rating: 4.0


Restless in sleep, terrified in dreams,
wondering what life really means.
An emptiness consuming the soul,
an unrealistic lifetime goal.

Why, when I reach out to touch
the things that, to Me, mean so much,
do I always have to struggle and fight
and then watch them slip out of sight?

I never give in order to receive.
I've given so much, now I beleive
it's my turn to ask for a small return,
but when I reach out, my fingers I burn.

I wait endlessly for what I desire,
filled with an intense raging fire.
Why is it always so hard to find?
A desperate need for Peace of Mind.

A poem written in a disturbed mind, reaching out for 'Peace of Mind'. You have eloquently expressed the sufferings of a heart that seems void of love and desires. May your unfulfilled dreams descend quietly on you! A nice poem that I loved reading.
