Peace Poem by DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK

World wars over;
Returns peace,
Civil wars here and there,
War against nations waged,
Cease-fire and truce followed,
Missiles tested everyday,
Showing strength,
And thinking peace,
As onlooker,
Looks into himself,
Into the mirror of ocean,
Wide and open,
Says reflection,
No trace of infliction,
Blueness intact,
As listener,
Listens sounds,
Sounds of intensity,
Sweet or irritant,
All sounds absorbed,
Sky grumbles not,
Thinks only peace......
