Power of Peace

Web Admin 01/09/2020     Poetry

By Roberta Curley

Not a touch

nor itch scratched

no accolades galore

 

no bloom of youth nor summer’s fire

no chorus of weeping for the world

 

no smile of deep surrender

nor love-strewn potpourri

no verge on euphoria

 

nothing compares to

the bliss of being

at peace with

oneself
