Analysis of Peace in Him



There is a stillness inside.
Somewhere beyond the painful memories,
Ghosts from the past encircle present thoughts.  
They are just vapors blowing
in the cold Wyoming wind.
As I learn to let them pass,
peace returns.
In the knowing of who I am,
Of who Christ is,
And in His strength I find my peace.
