Peace Begins Within

Searching for answers in this mindless world,
Confusion sets in when answers are untold,
We buy the newest, the latest, the greatest,
This one shiny thing will be our happiness..

Giving away pieces of ourselves without care,
Hoping beyond hope that peace we find to share,
But share with whom? The next love or friend?
Believing that peace on others we depend?

All the while, our searches last endlessly,
Skittering here and there, hunting mindlessly,
If we could only stop and listen to the wind,
We would find peace begins within.

Peace – Behold

A poem written for the World Peace Meditation on 12/31/14

Worlds crashing in, trembling fates, sorrows untold,
Greed, narcissistic desires, hawking goods they sold
In a chaotic universe where nothing is as it seems,
One flicker, one lone light, shines in contagious beams.

One voice, one heart turns to many joined together
In the stillness, grows to a full crescendo in full measure.
Peace, we call out to our vision of Higher Power,
Humanity becoming love, in this sacred holy hour.

Sister to sister, brother to brother, all linking as one,
Once the words are spoken, minds intent, nexus has begun.
We focus on the rainbow cone raised with earnest endeavor,
Willing our wills be done, this our fervent fever.

Can you hear the song of our ancestors calling strong and true?
We join with our Mothers and Grandmothers, the song sings anew,
Joining as one this day, we are the story foretold,
Peace will have its way, Peace and Kindness – Behold!
