CALM

To love without question
And to feel with no regret
Is the sweetest taste of life.

It's been quiet today,
So quiet.
No thoughts have rushed in
To confuse me
And cloud what I know to be true.
The facts have rested,
Settled in,
And I have grown accustomed to their presence.
The pain is but a whisper,
Drowned out by the rapturous cries of life.

This is how it feels
To be free.
