I think I will stop looking for a home
And settle now for a sanctuary
And gentle in my defeat
And past
I will walk on to the grass
Bare footed
And aching
Amongst the daisies and the clover
With strength only
To admire the view
About the Creator
Elsa Michaela | @surfthought
When you hear a song
One that stops you in your tracks
That seems spoken from your own mind
Do you listen and listen again?
Follow its streams until a tide,
Inside you
Rushes to fill in the small hollow parts
…Yeah, me too

This was so poignant. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
Beautiful poem! If this is defeat, it doesn't sound bad to lose.
Your decision is calming.
