I Write In 2020

All Is Well With My Soul

The world throws its turmoil my way
But I refuse to follow
Along the winding path
Through the mine fields
Of melodrama and destruction.
Thoughts buffet
I let them pass
I do not cling
Or try to protect myself
From the onslaught.
I sit back and watch
As the thoughts tumble
Trying to trip me up
Or drag me into some
Drama filled dilemma
I sit; I watch
I let them pass
In the quiet space between thoughts
I let my mind ease
I let my heart open
And I breathe
A peace comes over me
And I know
All is well with my soul
And nothing can touch me here.
