Within The Soul
Challenge phrase

Inside my soul there lies raging fire
Which burns with such a flamed desire
Justice lies there waiting its chance to speak
Within the soul of truth, peace I seek
If all wars would end and vile hate would cease
Mankind could live on in perfect peace
Until that time comes, as I know it will
The wish for truth’s peace remains here still

Within my heart the wish burns ever on
The desire for truth will n’er be gone
Justice declares this law to one and all
The weak shall rise and the strong shall fall
We will all live in peace and harmony
Love will flow across this land and sea
All we need to do is reach out with trust
Hold fast to truth and reject greed’s lust

In the inner chambers of my heart’s voice
Truth speaks of love and declares its choice
Within my soul lies the wish for truth’s peace
I hear it asking for pain to cease
Within your soul it speaks also in you
Listen truth shows what you must do
Stand up for peace we can bring it back home
To stay forever never to roam

Marsha


this is the challenge phrase
Within the soul of truth lies the wish for peace



Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

(smiles) Wow, I love this, sweet friend, this is wonderful, yes, I for one will always stand up believing in peace for the truth is somewhere out there and I'm sure it is not too indistinct! (sigh) I love this challenge, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
