Notes About The Poem

Karen Jones' Peace Or Lack Of Peace Contest...16 Jan 26

Warmth Of Peace

The fireplace rests for now
 but embers still burn softlv 
waiting for a family to gather 
in it's own comfort --the laughter,
the musings, the prayers all said- 
ready for others to share 
evening's warmth and magic, 

to tarry once again
 for more lively life sounds ,
trailing in silence for life to renew
 a ritual of gratitude and anticipation
on this fresh collage of night --
 when the gloss of stars induces 
a flame of PEACE among men,  at home, 
of closure in a time when the air
 is vulnerable... even for a while
 as affection cuddles
 a holiday's past awakening.
