quest for peace

reflections on peace

let peace be peace,
please,let peace be peace.
for those who don’t get it,
take a seat,sit,
it is something null,
void of action,
yet full of action.

 

peace is a constant,
close your eyes,listen,
can you hear a silence,
even among the disturbance?
can you feel a power
which has so neatly flowered,
in the tree of human
speech and creation?
can you hear a blank voice,
which attracts you,
with an old warmth,
yet you cannot give it a form?

 

peace is not merely the absence
of violence,
peace exists everywhere,
if only you dare
to hear it,you will know where
it is.peace is a code,
an old code,
older than the sea,
older than the sun,
very close to the origin.
it is when you know
you are safe,
when you know
that you are out of the race-
at least for a while,
that peace you are
surrounded by.
when peace you seek,
forgive those who speak,
the right to express,
will never rest,
for even peace is a voice
which we hear because of choice.

 

in peace,there is only right,
there is no wrong.
in peace,
you will know what your goal is,
peace will teach
and not preach,
so be prepared,
to understand,
otherwise,
you will never be wise.

 

the world asks for peace,
many fail to understand peace,
we all hope for a world in peace,
but peace being peace,
prompts action.
if you want peace,
reach your heart
and ask,
if you want peace,
ask you soul,
if you want peace,
listen to the thoughts
of your restless mind,
if you want peace,
listen to the world,
you will find a common
tongue,into which
all seem to lull,
that is your peace.

 

silence,an infinite voice,
stands as a single voice,
listen to it at all
times,peace shall be ye.
