A Place for Peace

Walking alone in the darkness

I see nothing all around me,

Only darkness.

Walking slowly, for I have no destination,

A little frightened, but that is my nature.

My fears are drawn out by the calmness

Peace.


But, alas, signs of civilization,

Bright lights, buildings,

Out of the darkness I begin to shiver,

I feel the cold and hatred around me.


I stop to find a place to escape this troubled world,

but there is no place

For calm or

Peace.


Sadly, I turn toward my home

But when I go in

There is no cold,

There is no hatred,

Even with bright lights,

There is warmth

And love.

And as I nestle within the love of my family,

There is calm

Peace .
