What Peace
What Peace
What peace here in this place have I found
Tranquil solitude in my backyard
Splendor in bright stars clearly above
Full moon upon me
reflection up upon me
glimmer upon thy undulating waves
Northern lights stream on above
flickering, dancing to the peak overhead
The spectacle of light abounds
the stage is my backyard
and I alone am the audience
The world lies asleep
While wonder abounds
I have it all
Yet move on do I
How can I leave this wondrous place?
The place I never sought, yet am.
Why can’t I find the peace that’s here
alone in my backyard?
