"The Inner Peace"

Friday, February 13th, 2004 4:50 p.m.pst
(an exercise in spontaneous poetry 2)

I shall always be at ease
When I exercise the inner peace
So stop and ponder this
Now I will say

Though the hurt and pain do last
'Tis a shame to dwell in pasts
The inner peace will slowly ease
The pain away


I always can rely on inner peace
For inner peace it lies upon my soul
Inside and out Inside and out
Hallelujah shout it out
I always can rely on inner peace


Oh glory be on high,
that heavenly prayer is answered nigh
Only badly planned perversions
Play their tune

You can blatantly believe
Or your wanton past retrieve
The inner peace will disregard
this morass soon


I always can rely on inner peace
For inner peace it lies upon my soul
Inside and out Inside and out
Hallelujah shout it out
I always can rely on inner peace

I shall always be at ease
Each time I feel the inner peace
No matter how much
I might want to scream

There's one thing age can teach
When your grasp exceeds your reach
You just hold on
And call for inner peace.


(refrain, sing along now!)
I always can rely on inner peace
For inner peace it lies upon my soul
Inside and out Inside and out
Hallelujah shout it out
I always can rely on inner peace
