An Answer of Peace

Let me not presume

to have the self-importance

to get it wrong. To tell myself

“if only you see better, 

and rightly understand,

then all will flourish — 

if your life is blighted,

you need to work harder”

Let me not imagine,

in the face of the fullness

of everything,

that I have the power

to get it wrong.

It’s not in me —

Life will provide me

an answer of peace.
