A Peace of Wisdom

This is a short poem about Cause and Effect. The value of Peace is Existence. Peace and serenity, and the waves of the sea the dreams of happiness that would never flee both the sun and moon, burning ever so bright all the worries in the world, they all take flight Music raises my hope, dulling the pain I endure driving my depression away, noise with a cure a body shakes with rhythm, as joy takes control my lips then move, to words uttered by my soul A soul clings to You, who fashioned me that day You alone gave me life, and to You alone I pray remove this evil among us, and open our eyes to pursue wisdom, while shielding us from lies Your balanced world, putting Man at its very center to withstand life's tests, he needs a devoted mentor hoping we choose wisely, your wisdom over desire to avoid that terrible fate, ending with pain and fire Acquiring a wisdom to distinguish between right and wrong having patience for others, although different, we all belong mankind, formed from earth, has a divine eternal obligation finding peace in wisdom, life exists only through cooperation The Creator of heaven, of earth, and of all living things acknowledging our shortcomings, we don't have wings kindness is your sword, and Truth, the only seal you use peace as the foundation, and each other never to abuse As those bright Heavenly lights flicker, earthly bulbs prepare to go out directing a new existence to begin, a renewed world is about to sprout much work remains in tending to the garden, our hearts need attention all that's left is to open our eyes, needing to make that final connection
