blooming in a field of weeds . . .

and tearing down invisible walls . . .

between storm and sunshine . . .
Peace is a seed
waiting to sprout fruit . . .
Peace is a bird singing
while the willow weeps . . .
Peace is hearing love
instead of words . . .
Peace is the calm man seeks
as he goes to war . . .

overlooking trivial details,
and seeing goodness there . . .
Peace is knowing God and self . . .
and feeling quiet
when everything else around you is loud . . .
