Last night I had the strangest dream
I’ve never dreamed before
I felt safe
At peace
No longer running
No longer hurting
Waging war against myself
It is like warm water
Flowing over my skin
Soothing and soft
It is like smiling
Not screaming
Of knowing that the softer I speak
The more I will be heard
Not that I ever dealt in tears and shouting
That was not my thing
Not that anyone tried to understand
Peace comes form inside
But is hard in a world of turmoil
Perhaps all we can do is live our best lives
Not hurt anyone or hold resentment
My dream will carry me along for a while
It is gentle, like cotton
I listen for peaceful voices
Watch for peaceful scenes
In this way my world improves
And war seems far away.
