Peace Abides

The snow lay on the land ln soft folds
some deep, others were a sprinkling.
Sound was hushed by its blanket
Leaving a quiet stillness in its wake'

Layers of pristine snow muffled foot steps
all the creatures were drawn with curiosity
To a clearing deep in the very dense forest
where a wonderous sight was to be seen.

For there lying in a cradle was a babe
one by one the creatures knelt down
worshiping the babe and the promise
that its birth brought of a new road.

A new form of peace embraced all
each and every form of life came
together in new understanding
and the heaven's lit up in splendour.

Once again we are reminded
of the Lord's "peace be with you"

A beautiful and heartfelt poem, Shadow. I know the animals and other life forms are just as amazed, in their own way, as we are in the presence of Jesus. Smiles ~ Blessings, my friend. I'm following your poetry now. Write On! Bill
