Inner peace is like

tending a garden.

Left unattended,

weeds dance with the crops,

lovingly tended every day,

the edible plants enjoy the full terrain.

Tend to peace every day,

with the breath,

releasing what is ready to go,

inviting in the light. 

Inner peace is a flower

that grows tall and brilliant,

providing strength, solace, and serenity.

Daily, lovingly, attended,

inner peace shines a guiding light,

and gratitude flowers with every step.
