Peace: A Declaration

by Nicole M. - Gemini

The wind may toss my hair~
But it will not blow me off course.
The rain might fall upon my skin~
But it will not soak my bones.
The thunder may crash with no warning~
But I will not be shaken.
The lightening may kiss my forehead~
But it will not strike me dead.

For

I cannot blow the wind back
Or tie the lightening into fancy bow.
I cannot trap the thunder in a jar
Or command the rain to stop.

The world's chaos is just that~
I will not claim partial ownership.

The Chaos is around me
Not in me.

Reason for writing:

    You can't be a sponge when you are up to your armpits in tragedy and troubles (poetic, eh? lol).  I think is one of my best poems...I am truly proud of it...lol, my luck, ya all will think it's crap.
