Moment of Peace

I wrote this after watching a high school performance which inspired it.

“Moment of Peace”

 

Argue, bicker as the stage performance is planned.

Worry, hurry, silent upset and frustration in the air.

Stress, the torments of life surfacing

--Impossible to get along with everybody.

 

But when the lights change, and the stage curtains open

All come together to perform their dance.

All thoughts fading, and worries gone; anger halted,

To live in the moment, to live in the performance…

 

The moment washing away all else

Brining calm, tranquility and life to the soul.

And suddenly…

There is no beautiful, there is no ugly

There is no fat, there is no thin

There is no smart, there is no dumb

There is no tall, there is no short

There is no black, there is no white

There is no popular, there is no outcast

There is

Only you.

As one, and together.

A moment of peace, harmony, coexistence born!

 

Lights out, performance done,

All go back to crazy, judgmental lost lives…

 

But if only we could “hold on” to that moment of time

--grasp it tightly; make it our way of life.

No more arguing, prejudice, jealousy, silly fighting,

But pure harmony…peace…

Fluidly working together as “one” …

 

As if the stage lights were forever on.
