Peace in the Pucker Brush

Peace in the Pucker Brush

I have walked the great desert of Truth

I have grabbed my own heart and held it tight

I have looked myself squarely in the eye

And saw my own Ways.

I have accepted the journey of my life and have no regrets

I have requested nothing of anyone

Nor bound anyone to the course of my destined Path

After all I mostly did not want to live it either

How could I ever ask someone to join me in the endeavor

That would not at all be fair to the fellow Traveler.

But to my surprise I have found Peace

In the deep pucker brush

I am as intrigued by it as others are.
