Peace in You

Rise up out of your skin,
get out of your body,
get out of your head,
let those thoughts that gnaw
on your marrow go, 
send them up into the clouds,
let them join with those vapors above,
let the glorious sun in her
power turn them
into rains that fall softly
on grasses, on trees -
then they will do good -
in you they will only destroy.

Lay on the warm sands
of the shores of peace -
soften your body -
connect with the power
the earth below you,
draw on the peace of
sky above you,
feel the tug of gravity,
feel the pumping of
your blood through
your body,
let this cradle hold you
and give you
the comfort you need -
to be you.
