pieces of peace

"life's about finding peace" people say.
searching for peace....
inner peace....
peace of mind....

peace.


i think i find a kind of peace in things....

but it is incomplete...
a fragmented and fleeting peace

a peace i cannot hold on to....
slipping silently away... always.

'life's about having hope" people say.
looking for hope...
giving hope....
hope for future....

hope.

i think i have a kind of hope in things.

it is hard to harbour.....
an evolving and everflowing hope.

hope's hiding in the shadow of my fears
silenced by the echoes of my past.

waiting to be freed.
