Sometimes peace is just a step away

(Before)
If I were there
On that island
With you
I would not lean into
But rather
Allow myself to fall
From high up
And all the way down
Falling without fear, but
With trust
Into
The world you have created
By just being there.

(During)
Then freefall
Knocking against a few clouds of discontent
Some of my own making
Then freefall
Glorious freedom
Dive deep, crystal cold water

(Now)
Peace
Delicate, restoring,
For me to swim in
For as long as I can manage it.
