the feeling of peace; is the chilly december winds gushing over me,
the drunken citylights
flickering on a long drive back home;
when lit-up skylines are painted
crimson and gold.

this feeling of peace; it's the only certainty, like hidden truths whispered away in a quiet scent of midnights that you wish would stay.

this feeling that's in my chest, is not as the ones before, better than the rest; this feeling of peace; the kind that reminds me of a distant memory lost in the past, one i wish i could relive while it lasts.

this feeling of peace- like the trail of a butterfly, a child that can never lie,
a bracelet you wear every day, it's in the words of your liquid heartbeats that you couldn't say.

this feeling of peace; is living in a town miles away, a place that would need no getaway, and one day you would wake up smiling, thinking it was meant to be this way.

this feeling that's in my chest; is a sequoia tree; in the end, we are the ones to choose what we want to be;
this feeling of peace; is the search for treasures from ancient legends and stories.

this feeling of peace; is a secret epiphany, a star-crossed destination,
a celestial haven, an earth-exiled feeling, it's ever so fleeting.

this feeling of peace is the one i want to hold on to with dear life, and never let it go, just to feel safe- a feeling i always want to know.

a/n : I wrote this because feeling at peace is one of the few things I couldn't do this year until recently, so that got me thinking- what was peace to me? And this is the answer that I got.

Thank you for reading and I hope you've enjoyed this piece of poetic prose.
