  Perfect Peace and Love

Beyond a tentative sunset
and uncertain twilight,
in these closing hours of yet
another lonely day on life’s
long and winding road
between past and future
misty shores of little gain
  and no return,
comes a time of darkest
memories and regrets.
Yet the measureless clarity
of such a moon-swept night
illuminates all the deepest
corners of my mind, heart,
  and spirit,
where rising like a phoenix
there remains only the radiant
  image of you
holding in your gentle hands
a hope … a dream … a chance
for perfect peace and love.

We always seem to be searching . . .

. . . we find it for awhile and then it goes away . . . we keep searching.

Beautifully said, Bruce! Perhaps we search for that perfect peace and love because we come from that. Could explain why it comes and goes as Margherita said - never really perfect, you see.
