The day six prompt of the 2018 National Poetry Writing Month challenge is to “write a poem that stretches your comfort zone with line breaks. That could be a poem with very long lines, or very short lines. Or a poem that blends the two.”
I wrote the poem, but the words? Perhaps you recognize them.
My Affirmation
calmness
serenity
comes to me
the universe I cannot see
change
or control
grant them dignity
to be
as they are
humanity…mine…yours…theirs
face change with
wisdom from experience, peace through acceptance, knowledge of listening
with silent love
and…
it
all
begins with
………………………….me
