Caroline Cécile Delacroix Poet Free verse

Raising the Flag

Raising the flag 
of a cease-fire
standing like a stag
looking upon the valley wide
not yet trusting the calm
while watching you and I,
will we dance or will we fight?

 
And I realize
that it is up to me
that the choice is mine
I know I will not flee
I must trust the right
that I have in God's majesty,
of life, of understanding I,
and what it really means.

 
I owe all that I am inside
to God, to my Father and Mother
I've found the Parents of mankind
and I know that this cease-fire
will find its way to peace at last.
