Meditation

Every
morning, I take
some time to meditate,
guiding my day to a clearer
outlook.

Splintered

When the place you've once
called sanctuary

Falls into great
disrepair,

When the place you've once
considered a haven

Splinters and fails
from broken promises,

All that you can do
is mourn,

So you grieve for
the peace once shared,

Peace that will never again
emerge from that space,

Then after you've grieved,
after all the tears are shed,

You take a deep breath,
pull yourself together,

And continue on your
journey once again.

Closer to You

No one is around

except you and I.

My skin tingles

as I feel your hands

Glide down my back, your 

warm embrace drawing me

Closer to you. 

A sigh escapes my lips

As you leave soft kisses

on my neck and shoulders.

I feel at peace

as you take your time,

Never wanting this 

moment to end.

What Enters

What enters is peace,

a calm wave

of energy

encouraging tranquility.

Stress tries

to make itself at home,

yet the peace comes in waves,

Its soothing energy

casting out

all negativity.

Peace is that

unstoppable gift

that continues to heal.

Japan's Unrest (a tanka)

Ground trembling once more,

citizens praying for peace

even as chaos

is averted on this day.

When will their calm spring arrive?
