About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Feeling at Peace
Prompt: What things in life make you feel at peace?

---------

I bet some people may feel at peace during some religious or spiritual exercises or events. In my case, I get excited and happy when I think about or even touch those subjects, and I see them as being rather personal, so I don't talk or write about them.

Truth is, this is a multi-faceted question for me. Some things may make me feel at peace at one time; then the same things may unnerve me at another time. This is especially true when I am watching nature. I love to watch the ocean with rippling waves. I also like to look at the greenery around me; yet, one day I saw an eagle kill a squirrel in the very same place, which unnerved me.

On the other hand, I feel quite at peace when I am writing. (maybe engrossed is the better word here).

Reading with no interruptions (especially while the kind of music I like is playing) also calms me down and gives me peace.

My most appreciated type of peace comes from when I have fulfilled my own expectation of myself, which is a rarity, and also when there is nothing upsetting or nothing too hard to do. Another rarity.

Then, I feel at peace from knowing my family is okay and my country is doing well. I would also feel at peace if there were no political fights, which I know is a losing wish. But I have recently decided to not vote for people or parties who pick up unnecessary fights. This decision also gives me peace.
