To create the peace in me
I must sing as sparrows sing
As a royal force of calm
That relaxes everything
With the sparrows’ soothing song
And the wind sending it long
I will pacify this forest
Being tender kind and strong
To create the peace in me
I must journey as the deer
Being stealthy in the forest
Moving safely far and near
With composure as the deer
I will walk to make my way
To the place where I am going
At a pace I can sustain
To create the peace in me
I must breathe as the bee
In the presence of the petals
With the pollen that I bring
With obedience as the bee
I will work delightedly
To be humble artful helpful
Noble diligent and sweet
To create the peace in me
I must see as eagles see
Having keenness in my senses
Having sensibility
With a lift of eagles’ wings
I will elevate my mind
I will focus my attention
On the fine gifts that I find
To create the peace in me
To remember how to smile
I must get to know my nature
As a child everwild
I am lion hear me purr
I am humming hummingbird
I am raindrop bearing rainbow
I am crystal clear and pure
