At Peace
by E. Izabelle Cassandra Alexander
See me now
or forever close your eyes
blinded to my soul
Hear me this moment
as my song of peace resonates
with your dreams of love
Touch my mind with
your essence of strength and hope
and open my heart to
satiating, eternal, selfless love
Tomorrow is here,
just come near
and hold my hand
as we listen to silence,
while I wrap my arms
around your heart
and kiss your eyes
in quiet, meek gentleness
