Chasing Dreams

If I could feel the nature of peace,

Would my failings all decrease.

Could then a less fettered path

Open avenues to find release.

So much investment is our life,

We sometimes lose touch of self.

Common place is that anxiety,

Lends sleepless nights and worry.

If rather than rewind my wheels

Of time, I could venture forth

Alone wilding new engagement.

It might then give me less pause,

And open windows lift my retreat.
