Peace of mind
Ketline Atieno 2000 (Kisumu)
Peace of mind...
Is it a room with no doors or windows?
Since i can never get in.
Is it so high in the sky?
Since I can never reach it.
Is it beneath the earth
since i can never dig in?
Is it when am untroubled to worry?
but can my mind be calm from worry?
Is it a state of tranquility?
but can my mind be free from agitation?
so, who is peace of mind and where can i find it.
is it too far away that I can never find?
If it is too high I can not reach
because i am acrophobic
If it is in a dark room I can never go in
because i am nyctophobic
If it is beneath then I will never dig in
because I have gephyrophobia
About this poem
