Peace, Be With You

To see peace will be
To feel peace, within
You will not only see,
But be a part of it

Like an ever rolling hillside
You become part of 
The beauty, the landscape

Like the sound of the sea
You become part of 
The eternal depths

Like the twinkle of the stars
You become a distant
Beacon of hope

Peace is the completion
Of self as it is taken 
From the heart of the world
From the vastness of the heavens
And placed within 
One’s own mind and heart

When one creates a balance in life I think you have found peace. It is finding that balance that we seek . God Bless Phyl
