REFLECTIONS ON PEACE


What is peace?

Peace is to fade into a sunset
and to cherish its warmth.

Peace is to tiptoe by the ocean
casting cares to the tide,
allowing the waves to transport
and the water to purify.

Peace is to ride off on a white stallion
bound for distant lands.

Peace is to find a pot somewhere over the rainbow
filled with hope.

Peace is to see into the future
and to smile at the sight,
to die into sleep
and to dream of that “bright light.”

Peace is to take off the old
and to put on the new.

Peace is to discover destiny,
to dream dreams.

The answers are many;
the question remains…
