The Art of Peace
by Gaille Hunter
Silence draped in streams of amber and mauve
glistens harmoniously through distant echoes
as twisting tones of logical reasoning
break against whispering waves
of memories and forgetting
that heal moist hands and lips and shoulders
drenched by an orange moon
Patience melts answers and questions
into icy clear midnights
and pain dissolves over indigo dawns
as fear runs pale into the basin
over gritty stones of pride and duty
Time dances backward through lily and daisy fields
And children bridge the pond of humans being human beings

I was going to relax this evening. Tune out, hunker down, look after myself. I need it. I am exhausted. Thoroughly used up. And it's only Wednesday. Not even half way through the week. A week that in the UK, is Mental Health Awareness week. I don't know who decides these things, who gets to co-opt a day, a week, a month, and declare it a thing about a thing. But I do know a lot about mental health. I know a lot about mental health AND I know a lot about working for the UK's National Health Service. And so it was with interest that I clicked play on the below video, earlier today. By the time I finished, I was in tears.
