I Am Seeking Inner Peace

The Round

By: ShakespeareSonnet116
Written on February 7th, 2013
I needed to be outside under the sky so that's just where I went, for a walk through the park. I couldn't say if it was my feet or my subconscious that brought me to our bench, but there I was...



By some cruel twist of fate I am completely misunderstood by the one person I truly wish could see me.

    The cosmos is always testing you. I had inner peace once, sat on the beach on a full moon night, listening to the waves sing their endless crashing song. The waves silver in the night. I was alone, but not lonely. The only person in the world. I got up with the sun, got on a plane, went home to bury my dad.

    Inner peace is a constant work in progress in my eyes..We find it in bits and pieces, here and there..And for those times when we question ourselves, shake it off, and cherish those close to you who care for you, and who understand.

    for some reason, I always thought of Neil Young and Crazy Horse when Lou was singing this song....I thought that maybe it was the response that Lou was looking for....mindless drifter on the road. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvRmBUEwtZg
