my mother always said, “Have peace of mind.”
but what did this saying mean?
My mind was never in distress,
why should it? I'm only fifteen.
I have no worries, no bills, no job,
I'm at peace all the time.
I guess she thought my life was tough,
after all, thinking's not a crime.
So I took her advice and went all day
being as peaceful as could be.
And by the spring in my step and the sparkle in my eye,
my world seemed suddenly at ease.
The air seemed fresher, the sky bluer,
and oh my the trees!
Like jungle gyms reaching to grab the sun...
and suddenly, I could see
that peace is a self evident right,
that takes some time to find.
So to have a good life, take mom's advice,
and always have peace of mind.
Fighting for peace - dying for his Petra
No pen – No power
Try play despite the plight
Parties partition.
People partition.
People with no petition.
Places persist proportionally.
People pass to a new place.
Peace!
Please Peace – O’Israel, Palestine.
We really need to create peace
between one another.
Stop all this fighting between
sister and brother.
We really need more love
love in world today.
And a lot less of the mean things
that people say.
To create peace with neighbors, family,
and friends is really smart.
This I find is really simple
and a great way to start.
To create peace and start this
way.
A smile, a hug, and " I'm sorry",
may be a great thing to say.
Pass this on down the line as you
go.
If everyone passes it on peace will be created
and it will be so.
So everyone pitch in to help CREATE PEACE!
Remove disturbing lines from the real life,
Drawn by anti peace human beings,
Who like wars and brutality,
Because these lines are disturbing,
Peaceful human beings,
Who likes peace and love….
To make this world,
A place of love and peace,
Where everyone have equal rights to live,
Where no wars and no weapons,
No hates and no jealousies,
Where no murders and no ransoms,
No boundaries and no worries,
So, add your drop of thirst for peace,
In the ocean of peace and love…..
May be your drop of thirst,
For the peace and love,
May give us a new morning,
A new morning,
To change the world,
And the humanity of human beings,
May become alive,
And they think for the peace and love,
And your thirst of peace,
May won the hearts of all humanity……

g from the sky
Thunder made from many a mother's cry
Lightning flashing
Made from one child's hope dashing
Sword cuts slice through the air
Made from a grown man's shouts of despair
Mother's calming voice saying, "i know it's not fair"
Oh, when will this storm of war end
When will peace show it face around the bend
When will harmony come for all
When will we break down that prejudice wall
For most of us can't, no won't take it anymore
I see no peace on yonder shore
We feel
Such offense when
We look upon hatred
And its deadly applications,
Evil
That keeps
Peace just a dream
We come to see what works
And we judge those who seek to play
War games.
But when
Hurt by someone
Personally, those friends
That you have cared about, helped and
Defend
Because
You felt perhaps
They were misunderstood
And one fine day, they turn on you
And use
The steps
You took for them,
Against you, in a logic
Of their own, that respects not
Your gift
Shaken
By the feeling
Of betrayal even
When you know, a gift is given
Freely
The pain
Cuts deep, tearing
The heart apart, bleeding
And your hopes for peace strongly
Lessens.
You find
That the conflicts
In our world has taken
Wider proportion, peace further
At bay.
Until
The sun comes out
Clears the clouds in your heart
Restoring faith, hope and the love
Inside.
Please God
The only one
Who can show us the way
To peace is your son whom many
Await.

Friend, do you want Peace in your Life?
Stop the Strife, arguing, and yelling,
Change your way, Bridle your tongue
We have a choice, with our voice
There is Power in the Tongue,
It can bring Life or Death
You want to take a Different Path
A Soft Voice turns away wrath
Remember to Follow through,
What God has Commanded us to do
That's to Love one another
Speak in Peace.. Forgive each other
We all our Sisters and Brothers
So, when things get out of control,
Don't play the role, "I don't care"
Take your burdens to the Lord in Prayer
If you Walk and Talk, always in Love,
Then you'll find, Peace all the time
The words you speak, make them Sweet,
In Harmony with Everybody
Come to Jesus and Find Peace
Peace within... always with Him
I love for peace,
I live for peace,
I rebel for peace,
I give for peace.
Peace is something warm and
out worn, but its something so
comfortable that no one will
throw away.
Peace is something bright and
loving like the sun that shines down upon.
Peace is made for hours on end by
working hands that sweat- they will
sweat until the warm drops fill a pool.
Peace is something dreamt in the mind,
and felt in the heart. We envision, and it
comes alive through each live beat of our soul.
Peace can be everywhere, but people
forget about peace and it diminishes too easily.
It is as fragile as infant that must be taken care of,
and it should be respected as we should respect
the elders far much wiser than us.
In peace we can hold hands with enemies and
forgive pain that was caused. In peace we can
submit ourselves to our faults and accept the truth.
In peace we can look at everything with love
and with love we become stronger and no one will
ever be hurt.
That is only with peace...
I give for peace,
I rebel for peace,
I live for peace,
I love for peace.
DID YOU SNOW THAT BEFORE
That’s how it goes
The rain bounces off the concrete
And then some days it snows
When it’s difficult to lift one’s feet
Now imagine you have to get somewhere
A place where peace is found and personified
It doesn’t matter how far it’s a trip you must bear
While thirteen inches of snow is by which your trip is defied
Now I’m talking about a place of perfect peace residing there
But hanging in a closet six miles away is your armor for protection
A place where few people would go from force or out of fear
But then you envision a shooting gallery where relaxation is found with every calming injection
while outside a tenement window a teenager views the snow
And he never need wonder why he ends up there within
He hears the soothing sigh of every shot and the sound of the wind to blow
While the teen knows that going to a damnable domain is a sacrilegious sin
Now that once young teenage boy has swiftly turned too old
Yet and still he treks anywhere a junkie goes
It doesn’t matter if it’s 99 degrees or a freeze frigid and cold
And Lord knows this is one junkie ain’t going to be hampered by two feet of snow

I am a mermaid
In my quiet sea
I see cloudless skies
I dream cloudless dreams
I bathe in my milk and honey
And seek no man no girl no money
I am swimming effortlessly
Ungrounded with no wings
And dreams
Oh by faith the dreams do me no harm ‘tall
I am merely a petal on a flower on the wall
Such peace to my drink of water is full
So many days and nights are blended together in my whirlpool
Sweet fruit of life and sugar all in un giving ways of waves
Waves my delight on by and join me
Mermaid I am here to dawn tomorrow on my feet and hands
Floating ‘til dusk on wet sand
Dreamer be no harm
Dreamer peace in my arms
Calm to light and day to dawn
Mermaid still away
Steal today from my skin shining and dripping in the chill of fall shoreline
Supple
Smooth
Young as air
I am a mermaid there
-Jess
With twisted trunk of beauty,
From the ravages of time,
A city bears its name today,
Because Athena made of you,
Her chosen gift to the mortals,
Recounted still in Grecian myth.
The dove of peace and hope began,
By flying back to Noah,
A symbol from your branch,
That spoke of dry land past the waves,
A place of respite from the sea.
Both earth and peace were born anew,
From the settling storm,
And delivered with forgiveness,
Out of a rainbow sky,
By the leaf of life from you,
God's ageless olive tree.
What wildness grows within?
And all the while
I learn myself to be a static blue
Freedom in front
And peace below.
I find myself listening to the words people use--mind you,
I am a lonely passenger on this voyage--I am deeply human
Climbing about vines and landing on overwhelming landscapes--
So I do my best to slow
time
down
Living one step at a time
Proclaiming peace with a bowed head.
I wish that there was peace on earth
Silencing crime, war, and racism
Other than holidays, wedding days, and birthdays
I wish that we could all get alone
Tranquility, happiness, and joy
In a world full of turmoil
It seem to good to be true
As long as we are living
There will never be true peace on earth
Only when we close our eyes
And depart from this place that we call home
Will we truly know that our peace on earth
Was nothing but a temporary loan
I can not curse the life I've led,
or the decisions that I've made.
Or the love I've felt deep in heart,
or the anger that I've displayed.
For these things I've chose of my own will,
by my actions I now must stand;
Even though deep inside my heart,
my emotions cant' understand.
For I know that I am never alone,
this brings great comfort to me;
For I can find peace amid the storm,
that peace is called serenity.
Let cringing tongue fall
and rough elbow bend low
and the heart that beats faster shall o
forever beats peace to all.
let still water remain still
And he thats down fear no fall
Pride is good,fall it call
Seat never on the fence,peace it kills.
Else we fall victim of greed
Let there be peace in our conscious thought
And busy hands chase idle plots
Least pay ear to satan's heed.
