Just As I Am

I love this chapter, of Me. 

This calm lull, of being in the moment. 

I’m neither sad or happy. 

I’m not in love or heart broken. 

I long for no one, nor am I lonely. 

My heart is at rest, for once. 

I’m not expecting or giving. 

I’m not aching, nor am I elated. 

There’s no yearning for the unknown. 

There’s no sadness.

Like an amber in the fire, calmly burning.

There’s no unplanned spark stirring. 

Nor the desire to light a match. 

Or a dance.  

This stillness in my heart is so rare.

Like a beautiful perennial blooming.

I can’t help but take enjoyment, 

in the scent.

I’m at peace, just as I am.

I love this chapter, of Me. 
I'm at peace...with me.
