Peacefully

The tides of time,

At the behest of change,
Bring along novelty and monotony.
It touches your closed eyes,
Softly, gently, heavenly,
With memories of joy, and of gloom.
It’s on you what you embrace,
Sublime happiness or sublime sadness,
Both peaceful.
My choice… left me with no choice,
No right, no wrong… no light, no song,
Only the feeling of living where I don’t belong.
Profound sadness,
Today forming smooth waves within me,
Peacefully…
