You sense the worlds peace in this place,
its low but the peaceful sound of water
over the bellies of stones that have worn away.

My heart is heavy with thoughts,
with the sounds of war and pain.
But the soul is calm and constant,
like the waters brushing over the shores.

In this place I am at peace,
even when the people around me are not.
I close my eyes and listen to the world,
it is my teacher and I am her student.
