Taking the PPC4 - 52 Weeks of Poetry

Prompt 15 (6th November 2023)

Peace

Peace be in your heart
let its stillness fill you
calm you, sooth you
silence you
so that you may hear
the inner voice
truthsayer
the one who loves you unconditionally
and will never lie
reflect
with peace in your heart
upon your troubles
with clear inner eye
see your way forwards
know your enemies
and love them for what they are
the opportunities that they offer you
know your friends
and love them for who they are
see that love reflected
know thyself
this last most of all
with peace in your heart
know thyself.
