Inside the calm of the beast

I look for comfort, slanging smiles, swallowing frowns.

My palms sweating. Heart beating. Tears sweltering.

Thoughts lingering, desperate for salvation.

This pain, inflicted deep into nearly healed wounds has resolved.

Peace. Serenity. Flows.

My pen spewing out words as my hand followed closely

behind. These words, this feeling, such a naturally soothing

rush, escaping my blood flow sending

an engulfing sensation through my mind.

Peace. Serenity. Flows.

I am free, these emotions I was once trapped in

lay at my feet so lifeless so meek. My words so graceful

and polished, eased out quite deftly with no flashback to

the unchangeable, the past, a way to think.

Peace. Serenity. Flows

I love these words easing out effortlessly.

I regain my exuberance, my chuckle. I

Adore this mood.  I no longer scowl for these

Emotions are now unable to budge. Still.

Motionless. Never to hassle me again.

Peace. Serenity. Flows.
