Peacefall

This year is 
the year that 
I made peace
like a landfall 
I made shore
after a decade 
adrift in turbulent 
seas tossing about 
the little boat 
that I am 
blistered and deaf
from wuthering winds
I have finally 
found my silence 
and in this 
silence my strength 
and in this 
strength so too
there was peace
