The Silence

                           Be
                           fore
                           My I died
                           I longed for that
                           For which i cried
                           The peace of a thousand years
                           Where no one would have to shed a tear
                           The silence brought me to your door
                           A home where there is
                           No more
                           War

Peacekeeping

The
Hard line
Is the one
To define
The one love
You cannot touch
The one you believe
For which you are blind
And you long for oh so much
Yet letting go shall let you know
That in the silence you shall find
A love which is indescribably divine
For the truth of all our peacekeeping
Is when you cease thinking and trust
That love is vaster than any worldly plan
You have been told was gold
And in order to be
Of that fold
It was that which
You should be reaping
Yet the eternal light
Is lighter than
The measure
Any scale
Could be
Keeping


Our Children

The
Soldiers
Who sail off to war
Follow the orders of leaders
Who remain in the comfort of home
The pulpit of their own vain and bitter tones
Not having the strength to leave those in love alone
The joy and beauty of our childrens silence shall  return
Not by the sad sum delivered in a box or an urn
Yet by those who have won
The wisdom of one
