Only Believe by Lynn White

Only Believe

If I could only believe

I would

lie in sweet flower scented water

and dream ever sweeter dreams

undisturbed.

If I could only believe

I would lie there

still

at peace

and wake

at peace

still.

Whether fish or fowl,

dove or eagle

fly above me

it wouldn’t matter

if I could only believe

that peace lies within.

If I could only believe.
