I Don’t Just Know Inner Peace

I know how to breath deeply, 

Pray when my life gets messy:

Reflect on the little things—

I know how to see past the ugly.

Because sometimes the ugly 

Can be a very beautiful thing—

And that beautiful, ugly thing 

Is a great source of reflection.

A beautiful reflection…

That is a powerful thing.

But a thing–as this beautiful reflection

Can be born from the smallest of prayer: 

The smallest of appreciation 

For the life each individual lives. 

I don’t just know inner peace:

I know independence,

Thoughts and wonders:

I know what it means 

To love even the smallest idea—

That is the most expected…

Thing.
