Peace is Now

I can see the path to follow

the direction I must go

and I feel the peace within

in just being able to “know”

I’m even okay with the pace

no longer thinking it slow

but enjoying the scenery

and each vision it can show

So now that I have settled into

the journey that I’m taking

I focus more on the moment

and the choices I am making

No longer is there a desire

for which my heart is aching

or a sense of guilt or shame

for something I am forsaking

I’m now okay with what is

Okay with what will be

Okay with all that was

and each and every part of me

I’m satisfied with footwork

and an outcome yet to see

It’s not only in the goal

that I can find the victory

I don’t have to overcome

I don’t have to compare

and I don’t have to wait

to feel joy until I am there

The purpose is the path

each step I take with care

the joy is in the journey

and each moment that I share
