Peace In Perilous Days

We yearn for peace in perilous days We lift our heads and look in the sky It will not be found in violent ways It will not rise from smoke passing by Screaming drowns the wise words to be heard We lift our heads and look in the sky Looking for truth, no time for absurd Lift us, cradle us, with simple things Screaming drowns the wise words to be heard Let us fly in love with newfound wings Above chaos that leads to demise Lift us, cradle us, with simple things In messages left where the soul flies Our strength is emboldened by a choice Above chaos that leads to demise Reaching high, with a positive voice We yearn for peace in perilous days Our strength is emboldened by choice It will not be found in violent ways Heidi Sands 6/18/20

Hi Heidi, How are you. Seems you are back on track with your awesome poetry and how true are your words, peace can never be found in violent activity, only with kindness and fairness will we go forward. Blessing Heidi. Jennifer.

lets hope the troubles of the past few weeks are over and peace will return as mass protests sparked rioting in many places and of course social distancing went out of the window - we are all good here 29 days no cases so life is pretty much back to normal from today, hop eyou are now fully recovered :-) hugs jan xx
