2015 - My Island of Peace

[Seema Chowdhury]

I'm sitting under the rising sun
In the shadow of subtle light
Putting aside my fears of life
Taking a few moments to relax
Immersing in deep thoughts
Trying to define what I want
For life depends on how I answer...

As I am feeling warm and excited
I'm overwhelmed with emotions
Trying to find the guiding light
At the end of the long tunnel
Stopping myself from bursting into tears
Or sobbing desperately with anxiety
I'm absorbing serenity and calmness
In my sunlit island of peace...

Where hope is casting shaft of light
And feelings are toying with my emotions
Showing me that life swirl around at times
But when it mysteriously slows down
It brings purpose and a sigh of relief along
So I can let my spirit soar with zest
To move along with new dreams on horizon
And there I can define life in my island of peace...

Everyone deserves their own "Island of peace", but not all know how to create it Seema....we are so lucky if we can make for ourselves a little space that is our own haven in times of stress.
