At peace..

M Nymph, P - Lonnie Tate



How did I come out
of the guilt
of being pleased
with myself?
My body taught me
to respond
freely
to joyous signs
of the world.
And they are there
everywhere
even in and on
my body.
Joy is to experience 
that beauty of living
and peace comes from
knowing Joy is at hand,
not far.
