Oh, How I Want Peace

Oh, how I want peace, peace of mind, 

that everything is alright.

 I can take a deep breath and sigh, 

close my eyes and see visions,

 relax and yawn 

unafraid of a lonely day. 

It feels that way for this moment

 I won't let it slip away 

 Like a dog I can rest my chin on a comfortable lap, 

I can lie back, 

relax, and be loved.

 when the loose ends are met.

 and it's clear sailing into every dawn, 

like now this second, 

and on through the restful day. 

Warm family ties,

 some healthy actions, 

friendly distractions, 

with both feet on harbor's shore.
