inner peace
Speak of it to no one.
It comes unbidden,
silvered by the moon,
shadowed by the sun,
and slips blithely through the wall of the mind
to hang its hat upon the door of your soul.
Bask in its radiance.
Savor its tender caress.
Eat of the fruit of its tree.
But speak of it to no one,
lest it grow wings upon your tongue
and fly away.
