The poem Peace Be Still was written as a mode of inspiration to myself despite my inner fears and insecurities within the life journey.

In the quietness of the night, I listen with intense will.

Calling out to myself, “Peace be still”.

Yet the noises continue to surround my thoughts, my body, my soul.

The noises of doubt, self – loathing and fear creeping within, while struggling to come out.

Pressing on, I continue to shout, “Peace be still!” “Peace be still!” “Peace be still!”

Against all the noises, fears and insecurities, I fight on toward the horizon, gazing into unexpected blessings.

Claiming victory to God, I give praise in all things.
