Inner Peace

My soul is at rest
when I hear Oprah's voice
when I nourish myself
my spirit sways peacefully

When I create a work of art
or go hiking in the forest
on a perfect spring day
my heart feels so present

When I hear a good song
float on my back in the water
meditate and feel God's presence
I find equanimity

When I love someone
and they love me
when I hug somebody
or hear about a miracle

Peace is with me
when I feel love for the world
when I finally understand something
or am completely focused

When I hear the quiet
it calms and consoles me
When I'm in balance
and feel love for the world

The great spiritual force
with its small and simple ways
that bring me inner peace
