As my heart beats to the powerful drums of Kitaro,
and Tangerine Dreams hold me tight this cold night,
I hear Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata,
and as The Tide Rushes In,
Can U2 hear my beating heart?
Imagine if All The People
wanted to Hold Your Hand.
Would you Let It Be?
For if Love Is The Seventh Wave,
we can Fly Like An Eagle,
or soar On The Wings of A Snow White Dove,
and even Catch a Falling Star.
Let It Be,
Let It Be.
Let there be Peace in the Valley,
Let there be Heaven On Earth,
We Need It Now.
One Love, People Get Ready.

Thanking all the wonderful songwriters and musicians who have written words of Love and Peace to all humanity, and may we all sing these words of Love and Peace in harmony.

"May ripples of LOVE
become waves of PEACE"

Indeed...

This is beautiful, Kacy...
both in words and in sentiment...

of power the world will know peace."

perfect Kacy.....
and this song always comes to mind when I think of you..

"I would whisper love so loudly
that every heart would understand
that love and only love
can join the tribes of man. - Judds"

Thank you, for you and that wonderful heart of yours gal.  

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

Peace....something a song will make you belive could be for a time...music and lyrics and the universal human quality that will always find in music something to sooth the savage beast.  Really enjoyed this Kacy!

thanks to all
who have indulged me
in this write
and asking forgiveness from those
who wrote the songs of love
for I know this is a hodge podge at best
but when I sit still at night
I hear so many of these tunes
these words
and they always spell one word
that my ears recognize
as worth all my efforts
all my energies,
all the words I can
beg borrow and steal
from Webster's and elsewhere

Peace

If this doesn't prove that music brings peace and peace brings music, then I don't know what will!

Much enjoyed, Midnitesun.  

And what a lovely surprise it was to find Vrede there.  I realise that it is probably Dutch (for where would you find Afrikaans in America!), but it is Afrikaans too, and although I am not Afrikaans, it is a language of South Africa (we have 11 official languages!) and thus close to my heart.  Besides, my ex-husband was Afrikaans (and probably still is!), which makes my children ½ Afrikaans, and my dearly loved late ex-step-mother-in-law and other in-law family.

I will try to find out what is Zulu for peace too, if you would like to know.

I firmly believe that we could have world peace and it is people like you who can bring it about.

Peace, love and hugs

this left me with a feeling of freedom.  like the feeling you get when you look at a sunrise or a field of flowers and know you can do anything, just the images focus your mind.  wonderful poem.
