"Peace Be With You"


Staring at the mirrored soul
Apologies drift aimlessly
Futures foretold, believed not
Behold what could and should be
When peace is with you.

How could you forget your way
inside the comfort of your home
Look inside yourself to see
What cannot be concealed to others
When peace walks with you.

When endings must be endured
When warmth is cold as frost on snow
When virtues of wet sand crumbles
from relentless surf poundings
May peace embrace you.

When the skin becomes thin and brittle
When you have loved and lost
When daylight will not illuminate
the dark laments of shame
May peace find your soul.

You may have forgotten
the sweet-vined taste of friends
When the gold of truths are
hopelessly tangled
May Peace Be With You.

Jeff darling boy this is utterly first class writing, definitely one of your best. The lines in this simply are awesome, the depth and the emotion you’ve managed to convey here is outstanding

When endings must be endured
When warmth is cold as frost on snow
When virtues of wet sand crumbles
from relentless surf poundings
May peace embrace you.

When the skin becomes thin and brittle
When you have loved and lost
When daylight will not illuminate
the dark laments of shame
May peace find your soul

As for the message darling boy it is simply stunning. Peace be with you too.

Love and light

Love and warm stuff
As always

To all you of generous response:

May i humbly decline, to take credit for this.
It is the message that writes the words
the importance of peace in our hearts
that upon a page
etched itself.

and may i also thank you, for spending this time
with me
as i give you back Promises
that Peace will always be with you,
