Only Believe by Lynn White

Eyup Belen


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 wouldnt matter

if I could only believe

that peace lies within.

If I could only believe.
