Exceptional reflective octogram Octograms : My Peaceful Place by adewpearl

When chaos reigns, I seek inside my peaceful place, an inner calm that slows my stride from frantic pace, a voice that counsels soothing rest instead of courting one last quest -- a restoration to embrace, my peaceful place. Anxiety can be denied if we replace our grasp for goals that soon collide, with gentle grace. Tranquility will not elude a soul who welcomes quietude. I've made my choice and left the chase -- my peaceful place. Recognized Author Notes The octogram is a poetic form invented by Fanstorian Sally Yocom in 2009. It consists of two 8 line verses. Each has a syllable count of 8/4/8/4/8/8/8/4. The rhyme scheme is ABABCCBB ABABDDBB. Line 2 of the first verse is repeated as a refrain in line 8 of the first verse and line 8 of the second verse.
