Sometimes Peace (Free verse) by MattDahl
When the spring rain stops and the smell is sweet,
When it?s four a.m. and no cars fill the street
That?s when I find it.
When I?m building forts with blankets and quilts,
When I leave the booth absolved of my guilt
That?s when I find it.
When a quiet pool reflects the sun,
When the work was hard but now it?s all done
That?s when I find it.
When the summer is hot and the dragon flies hover,
When I find a surprise in a note from a lover,
When I see a deer stepping out from the corn,
When the night goes to sleep and a new day is born
That?s when I find it.
When I catch a glimpse of the dolphin?s grace,
When I imagine a smile and my mind sees your face?
That?s when I find it.
