Speaks Volumes Poet Kyrielle

Notes About The Poem

           

A Means of Your Peace

“Make me an instrument of Your peace” 
                                St. Francis of Assisi 



Take all cruel thoughts from my mind. 
Let me leave all anger behind.
Help my compassion to increase. 
Lord, make me a means of Your peace. 

Cast all selfish thoughts to the wind. 
Let doubt and bigotry rescind. 
Grudges I hold, I will release. 
Lord, make me a means of Your peace. 

When I see souls struggling to cope,
Let me spread word that You bring hope. 
Guide me to make injustice cease. 
Lord, make me a means of Your peace. 

Your blessings make my pain decrease. 
Lord, make me a means of Your peace.

Christina Bowring March 17, 2024 at 2:32 PM Dearest Wen, I love this perfect Kyrielle. I’ve been thinking about this form which is new to me and I need look no further than here for inspiration! I adore the refrain line - it feels and sounds so melodic and I love the use of it in the title as well. It’s such a calming read and would make a wonderful recital at the end of each day. A perfect prayer for strength, guidance, knowledge and love. This poem is so uplifting and your radiant heart shines through. Blessed are those that know you.
