And peace fell upon me
Like dew upon a flower
When I saw many others
Gather about at my call
Hold my hand, steady my step
And strengthen our cause,
“Peace to all, we say
Shalom, Amen!
‘A call for peace – Universal’
Is the war cry we wield”
That hope is not lost
Others too weep for all
I am not alone I have friends
To rely upon and rise a call
For hearts to heal
Souls to love other men
As own self, feel the pain
The blood that flows
Same as yours breathes life
To stop bloodshed
To stop hate and spite
To stop fanatic love
Of caste or colour or creed
To spark love in every heart
To fill each soul with peace
Unto this end
We have gathered all
Friends together
Friends forever
Raising a clarion call
We befriend one and all
As we gather from far and near
With offerings of poems
On brotherhood, tolerance
Faith, love and above all peace
In the sylvan moonlit woods
Of poemhunter each twilight hour!
lovely heart wrenching poem Angelina. peace within, peace without. - says the vietnamese monk Tich Nhat Hanh. I couldn't agree more. we have to first fight the demons within ourselves, and put our house in order. love Mamta
Peace is all that we want. If we all forgot our ego and self interest, then there will be an everlasting peace. Good cause to spend time and effort.
