The Sound of Peace

Simple sounds The birds of love Nature’s call, so wild and free Echoed in the skies above Symphonies made just for me Simple sounds The cricket’s dance Senses frolic to and fro Entertaining nature’s trance Contemplating all I know Simple sounds A heart that beats Searching for a love to share Life that flows when hope retreats Listen for it everywhere Simple sounds The guns of war But for hate meant to release Rat-a-tat, he is no more Silence is the sound of peace

I like the way you formatted your poem, Mike. I love the contrast between the first 2 verses and the last two. The title was so fitting. The ending 'he is no more...silence the sound of peace' resonated with me. Just an outstanding poem. Am faving this one, Sara
