Races run, faces shine, it is win;
Life goes on in spite of pain.
Infinite!
Tear Peace?
Stretch it Overseas?
Oh! I would, if I could! By all means!
Alas! No ears
My cries;
"Peace Peace Peace"
Discard, Dismiss, it is Mawkish!
Life, this head of mine;
All is torn in two.
There’s a princess of emotion,
That sits in darkness.
And oh, this head of mine,
It sees her, glowing.
Her beauty is not that of many,
But would illuminate the world.
She counts and dreams so many,
To sleep, to laugh, to love her.
And all this time,
My head of mine,
Wants her in my arms.

QUIET TIMES
HEART IS FILLED
WITH WONDER AND SERENITY
THAT FILLS THE HEART WITH SO MUCH PEACE
AND ALSO WITH SOFT AND SPECIAL,BLESSED GRACE
AND JOY THAT MAKES YOU DEFINITE WHOLE
LONELY BUT NEVER QUIET ALONE
THOUGHTS FULL OF LOVE
QUIET TIMES
Snowflakes
Floating gently
Downwardly
Crystallizing
Everything it touches
Making everything
Pure and white
Drifting endlessly
Spiraling down,
Down, down
Encasing everything
With its light cold touch
In a fluffy blanket of
Pure white happiness
Its journey ends
With the coming of spring
And turn to liquid
Clear and impure,
And now everyone will have to wait
Until the next snowflakes come
And embrace everything
With its pure white touch.
When the sun shines brisk in the day,
Or the flowers pop up to bloom,
The birds will sing and the animals play,
But I prefer the silence of a quiet room.
Think of the peace, think of the silence!
Think of the absence of noise so sour!
Think of the absence of bloody violence!
The only thing you can hear is the “Tap!” of a shower…
Ah! Through the window I think I hear,
The rap-a-tap-tap of the rain so distant,
The rap-a-tap-tap of the rain I love so dear:
To hear the rain splatter, it sounds so insistent.
Too much hate-
Not enough love.
Too many sorrows-
Dreams that die without ever seeing the light of tomorrow.
What's wrong with thew world today?
Not enough smiles-
Too many fears-
And too many tears.
Too many wars,
Not enough peace.
The list is rather long,
I could go on and on.
A heart breaks,
Because no one cares.
The magic dies,
A dove cries.
Too much religion- no one believes-
No reason to forgive.
Not enough trust-
Too much lust.
A child dies of abuse,
Another dies because there's no food.
Lies told,
Nightmares unfold.
Do you want to make the world a better place?
Give someone a reason to smile.
Wipe away a tear,
Ease a fear.
Love your brother,
Try not to kill one another,
What's wrong with the world today?
Too much hate-not enough love..

What is peace?
Peace is a word.
Majority of the world has said the word
or used the jesture
and to many of you it is just a word.
Yeah, peace is a word.
Way before Grease was the word
and I'm sure the majority of us has seen Grease.
But how many of us have actually seen peace?
Yeah, we can all mind our own business
and go about our way,
So, is that how peace is supposed to be lived today?
We can say the word money
and vision money
We can see a bee and relate it to honey.
We can see a bird on the ground
and assume it can fly,
We can look up
and see the sky.
But when someone says peace,
What is it that we see?
Two fingers in the air
Or R . I . P .
A circle with some lines inside,
So how would a person see peace
if his or her eyes are blind?
Peace is sometimes used when it's quiet day and night,
So is a deaf person peaceful
with day and night crime in sight?
How can someone believe in peace
and then agree to drop the bombs?
Will we ever get rid of Bin Ladens and Sadaams?
You just can't say the word peace
You have to live it
It needs to be fealt,
So may peace be with us all
Let us all feel peace in good health.
