I found peace
one summer morning
after a sleepless night
coffee in hand
I sat on my porch
and breathed in the morning haze
and soft obscuring mist
that accompanies the birth of day
I watched the sun rise
from the other side
and took my worst enemy,
the man towards whom hate
and anger flowed from me like water
for many years of my life
and I forgave him
