Peace Of Mind. Poem by Graham Jones

Release me from this morbid fear
A self inflicted prison
Constrained by thoughts I cannot hear
And lack the needed wisdom

Mind made shackles tie me down
To tease and taunt at will
Dragged through halls of darkness
As though searching for a thrill

Memories that will not die
And will not fade away
Take foothold in the sleepless nights
To haunt me through the day

Peace of mind is all one asks
From the terrors of the past
A refuge that can give relief
In a sanctuary that lasts.
