Poetry: Peace

October 6, 2022 – Los Angeles: Kevin Taylor, from Canada, states: “Our world is in need of poetry, historically included among the fine arts. We are the heralds of a better world.”

Peace

Peace
Is not withdrawal
Peace is the surge
The urge
Peace is arising
Swelling
Overflowing
Swing of
Upturning
Turned-up rhythm
Peace is resurgence
Peace is expression
In and of
Common Purpose
Cresting waves
Of purpose
Aligned
Upon a new dynamic line
Peace is
Not withdrawal from life
Peace is not placid
Not flaccid
Peace is active
Busy
Peace is believed
Conceived
Crafted
Peace is for
And not against
Peace just is
For you are its source
And I am its source
And we are its source
Reaching
Reaching from and for and to
Every searching soul
Peace is strength
Of integrity
Peace is loving anyway
Peace is faith
Peace is good
Peace is yours
Mine
Ours
Peace is ready now
