Peace Tree
To find some peace I climb atop a tree
 My hands get cuts and stuck to sap on limbs
 Careful not to rest on branches to short or slim
 I pause to sit and breathe my legs hang free
 The scent of pines and wood nostalgic to me
 The rays of light from sun through clouds do skim
 My face grows warm then cool when shine grows dim
 At last up high I’ve found through nature, serenity
 A peace that takes so long to try and find
 A peace I found while looking for purpose and worth
 A peace we all must feel when times aren’t kind
 A peace we discover through time within this earth
 A peace destroyed by closed, impatient minds
 A peace I will take with me now and henceforth
