Peace of Mind

Obtaining something more precious than gold.

    Have you found your sense of peace?
    That peace of mind, which we all seek.
    Nothing greater than this, in life you'll find,
      a want fully contained within the mind.

    Tranquility hoped for, so long denied,
    restless nights, muffled cries.
    Life and dreams change, thoughts go unheard,
    too trusting a heart ... too many unkind words.

    You rise, you fall, but throughout it all,
    life's chaos one day, does cease.
    An awaited turning point in life is reached,
    a mind settled ... a mind at peace.
