In chaotic times

I aim to find peace

Every day in my mind

To stay at ease

Everywhere I go

Share warmth with people I meet

With every person I know

Find moments

Calm and complete

If you are running out of patience

Walk back down

Pathways new or ancient

Preconceptions release

*

In political times

I aim to find peace

Every day in my mind

To get past the grief

Everywhere I go

Promote leaders who don’t cheat

With each person I know

Find moments

We don’t fight and compete

Hold tight to patience

With a smile not a frown

To overcome the outrageous

Kindness wears a crown

*

Emotion swarming

Buzzing loud are my feelings

Seems quite normal

In everyday dealings

I brace against a flood

Calm moods much more appealing

Torrents of anger and sadness won’t steal me

Instead I breathe deep

Think of the real thing

Life is survival

Peace and love bring us healing

Logic revealing

*

In these crazy times

I aim to find peace

Every day in my mind

A cool flowing breeze

Everywhere I go

I look for comfort to please

With every person I know

Find moments

Stress can’t defeat

It pays to be patient

My heartbeat the only sound

Adrenaline starts racing

Take time to focus

And peace can be found
