Peace

Found, unexpectedly just behind me here at the house. It was there just waiting for me. 

Carefully I go for it and look. 
Reluctantly, I kneel down and stretch out my hand. 

With a huge jerk I pull my hand back. 
I do not want, I dare not, fear cuts my throat. 

It is just there in front of my nose.
I shrink back one meters and walk carefully around it.
 

I must have a good look from all sides
I kneel down again and this time 
I stretch my both hands towards it. 

Very carefully I touch it with a finger. 
A strange tingling rushing through my body. 

A delicious warmth is spreading through me. 
Surprised I rise and take a step back. 

Unknown feelings rush through me. 
Then I pick it up and take it to my heart. 

A peace full of love embraces me.
