It lies waiting
dormant hidden under
a barren wasteland.

It has unlimited
capabilities
but can ecompass
the entirety of the earth.

It exists but is
hidden
in the deep crevices
of places that fear it's embrace.

It has the
power
to surpass all of that
which is life as we know it.


Within it lies the
redirection
of mankind
and its existance.

A power so
strong
that humanity
fears it
in it's totality.

The world must
accept
it or live forever
in a barren wasteland......

without peace.

As I read in anticipation of the revelation I was thinking "Will she speak of 'The Bomb', or 'Love' or ..."
and a great smile broke across my face - a smile of ... 'Peace'.

It does my heart good to know that somebody out there actually understood what I was trying to say here.  When I wrote this, all I could really think of was....so many possiblities....Peace can give us so much if only we can embrace it.  Thank you both so much.....for hearing.
