A Kiss For Peace

A short, gentle and heartfelt poem envisioning a world where love heals, unity grows, and peace is restored perfectly capturing the hope for a better tomorrow.

My hope for our world and the people who walk it is
That the earth heals from all its scars
Souls find calmness beneath the stars
The place where wounds fade with each gentle kiss
And unity restores the peace we once knew but now miss

it's a beautiful prayer. one tat i shall sing as well. this year, so much is happening around the world. closer to home, my life here is also in a state of crisis. but that time will heal everything, that hope is what keeps me going. i search for 'The place where wounds fade with each gentle kiss'. i will find it, one day.

Some lovely sentiments, for an idealistic and tranquil world of peace; where love trumps all.

Sadly, so much easier said than done; to actually achieve on a global scale.

Even when one part of the world, finally seems to be at a state of loving peace, worldly problems often emerge; and start casting a dark shadow of despair.

Thanks for sharing, and keep writing.
