Dorothy Gibbons Poet Free verse

Embrace Peace

Embrace peace is the way
Stop, listen , help the broken hearts!
God’s there ready to answer you
Cry out ~ Cry out
Its ok, to scream and shout
Get the freedom you deserve
Smash every chain
Strongly round your heart today
I did it for my heart
Its great to be free, as  a bird in flight
Soaring above the clouds
Observing the beauty, the peace
Healing of deep wounds
It did hurt ~knocked me down
But, never ~ knocked out
Let faith arise , set us free together
Free to be me
Free to be you
I’ve turned up my music 
It chills and inspires me today
A day of writing for me
It shall be ~
