    Poem Commentary

    "And let the peace of God rule in your heart, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful" Colossians 3:15

    Peace like a river

    The place in which I reside
    must have one thing
    the peace of the Lord inside
    A place where my flesh and my spirit dwell
    outside evil can run wild
    but my place is where I can run and hide
    it is my shelter from all bad weather
    at night my dreams are sweet

    in my place I feel mellow and relaxed
    whether it is a messy or clean
    my place still feels serene
    it feels like there is a river right next to my door
    and the sound of the water
    makes my thoughts run out like a stream
    in my place my ideas are born and start to grow
    then unfold
    cause my house is not a house
    it is the place I call home

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
