Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

Message of Peace

Be the night that prompts
A nightingale to sing,
Be the dawn of endearment
Enamored in song of robin,
Be a dove, soothing morning,
Crooning melodies of peace.

Be the land of tranquility,
Be garden of white poppies
Blooming flowers of peace.

Be not act of tyranny
Heralding voice of vengeance,
Flaunt not sword of enemies
Spewing revenge that kills,
Be olive branch of friendship,
Be the compassion of peace.

Protect weak and weary,
Feed the plight of hungry,
Accord hope to misery,
Bestow on life a meaning,
Fulfill the void of nothing,
Promote means of being,
Be the ambassador of goodwill,
Be the benevolence of peace.

Be the grace of mercy,
Solemn words of hymn
Singing prayer of harmony,
Raise the torch of dignity,
Be harbinger of sanctity
Tolling bells of divinity,
Be the message of peace.
