At Peace
I am at peace in my car,
 The smell of old upholstery surrounding me,
 Mixed with a touch of cinnamon,
 The old seat hugging my body,
 Butter soft leather under my fingers,
 My dream catcher guarding my dash,
 I find peace in my car.
 
 I am at peace in the rain,
 The smell of damp earth filling my lungs,
 Musky with the tang of water, 
 The humidity embraces me, grounding me,
 A cool drop transverses my neck,
 Green is everywhere, calming my eyes,
 I find peace in the rain
 
 A honk,
 A light,
 A voice,
 A pain in my shoulder,
 Take my momentary peace from me,
 But I will find it again,
 In the next ride,
 In the next storm.
