Peace

By zazu

We can lie on our backs and gaze up at the sky,
Let the seconds become hours,
Allow the birds to pass by.
Let the noises dissolve into murmurs and songs,
Let the light on our faces keep us peaceful and calm.
Let the worries in our heads flee from this place,
Let the feelings in our hearts slowly gain space.
So, we can lie on our backs and gaze up at the sky,
With the day passing by and our tears starting to dry.
It's okay to pause and just take a breath,
Because we are all human, and we all deserve rest.

    You see the world through sunglasses,
    Through wine glasses,
    Through glass windows that keep you from the heat.

    Not when there was a party downstairs.
    Not when there was music that crept under her closed door and whispered for her to stay awake.
