Peace Is Here Poem by Masa MbathaOpasha

If you ask me to show you peace, I will.
It’s everything good you think or feel,
Every action or deed for the wellness
Of the earth, the sky and the living things.

Peace is real, not a religious metaphor
Or spiritual ransom for righteousness.
Peace is a human living challenge
Far from politics and business wars,
A heavenly bound sentiment
Without pride and arrogance,
The happy moments of your life,
The beautiful painless illusions
That clothe your dreams with love.

Peace is an emotion, a state of mind,
The willingness to live without fear,
The certainty to die without despair,
with only constant happiness as a friend;
A carefree sensation immense like the universe,
An invisible ethereal breeze
Of undefiled hope,
freedom and human friendship.

Peace is bliss,
The capacity to smile with honesty
In the presence of misery and tragedy.

Peace is here, there, and everywhere,
A faithful angel in the custody of your heart
Ready to be seen in the fleeting hours of the sun,
To be hugged dearly without delay
in the tender warmness of the moon...
the ancient light in the eyes of a child,
Infinite instants of unconditional respect,
The greatest gift ever given to mankind!
