Lusting for Peace

My unsettled mind

The undying lust for peace

None can hear my cries

I am being consumed,

by the absent reality,

which calls to me

from the abyss

The darkness

takes me in

I yearn for peace

although I’ve sinned

Make me whole again

Please will someone listen

I’m empty inside

I need to dine

on nature’s beauty,

kindness, honesty

love and tenderness,

trust and understanding

I need freedom,

acceptance and knowledge

But most of all,

I need companionship

Someone I can depend on

when times are tough

I need to fill my soul

with these before I

can be at peace.
