Unslept nights
Floating between here and there
Looking for an anchor
At the mercy of the wind, words and worries
It’s there, within her hands
Only her soul can touch it
When she is ready to receive
The bright light of peace
Grounded and rested
A breeze bathes away the worries
A smile of comfort
Lights up her face

Elizabeth, I love how the “anchor” turns out to be something she carries within herself, making the journey from restless worry to “the bright light of peace” feel quietly powerful.

That peace always has to be found within, and so true only when “ready to receive” can we find it… 💞Suzanne

Yes, we need to be ready to receive, but the interesting is the peace is inside us, so we need it’s a self-gift!
