Preach to broken hearts and you will never lack an audience


The only time both my heart and mind are calm,

 

Almost empty but in a day dream way.

 

A day dream where I do nothing but sit,

 

Sit in the silence and actually like it.

 

My thoughts are floating and not screaming through,

 

A rare feeling that I seldom hold.

 

So I’m Scared of doing anything or speaking to anyone that might just ruin this rare serenity,

 

This serenity I wish could last eternity.

 

I’m not even wishing or thinking of the future though

 

Just lying here pretending that the peace won’t be gone.


The author's comments:

Basically I wrote six poems intended to be read aloud in a certain way (spoken word). The catch was each poem had to get it's title from a word or phrase from the previous poem (except the first one of course).  This is the first one and it's titled peace.
