PROMOTE PEACE

Peace is a steadfast, stable, quiet noise,
not one of media’s favorite toys.

Peace is an easy, loving intention,
so news gives it barely any mention.

There is only one sure way peace can win;
everyone, everywhere, must breathe peace in.

All must exhale any need to feed greed.
All must let go woeful sorry ego.

All rise the morning, be still and relaxed,
rest your hands, folded gently, on your lap.

Focus on peace, inhale peace deep within,
let it go, then breathe peace in once again.

Breathe peace in as a mental-heart safe ride,
breathe peace in through your spiritual side.

Peace in the air, gently breathe deeply in,
peace flowing new, beneath your very skin.

Imagine all hearts striving for world ease
by beginning their day breathing in peace.

I love your approach here. You take peace as a very personal emotion, which if fostered, would help the whole planet. If all would do this easy thing each day, surely they could forget their pride and greed. I really like this. It is sure to place!! Wish I had thought of it. I could not even think of a thing to be able to enter the contest.

Lovely poem, CayCay! You manage to transmit a calm serene feeling ... contagious and hard to resist. Reminds me of yoga, which I have read about but never practiced myself. I do find time to sit on my own, close my mind to the world and meditate...it works wonders! ~ Regards // paul

I don't think my body CAN do yoga, but, yes, meditation I can do, too. It is prayer to me. In quiet, God speaks the loudest. I am so glad you enjoyed it, Paul - thank you for telling me ... CayCay

The first line says it all Cay Cay and it appears you practice some form of yoga or meditation?...In the 70's, I took a Transcendental Meditation course and still practice it today (although not as much as I should) I got to the point where I was so relaxed that I became 'bodiless' which is the ultimate goal...VERY well written and relevant couplet for today's troubled world and I agree with you about the news media! - Tim

Tim - I enjoyed your message so much! I do meditate as a form of prayer, but I have never gotten as far as you apparently have - good for you! I am delighted you enjoyed the poem and took the time to tell me. Thank you for that and for the good luck ... CayCay
