‍I Me Us
‍
By Lindly Watters

‍

Peace is where I find you—
All tucked in with a good book to read—
Patiently absorbing everything.
You are me and I understand you.
We have worked together,
For better or worse.
I find us in a quiet place
That dwells deep within our soul—
A sanctuary.
I find you when I pause, breathe and listen.
I find me.
