At Peace

At Peace
12/24/10

This time of year
provokes most to contemplate
one's place in Universe,
how life's being lived,
what isn't working now,
did in past year,
plus dreams of future,
hopefully through this peering
there comes an understanding
that emotional turmoil informs
about what's greatly treasured,
is the leading thread
to core soul values
underneath distressed ego antics,
wanting, needing energy expression,
bottled up or distorted
from insane societal consumerism
trying to make sense,
recognizing craziness can direct
toward living at peace.
