Life Surrounds, Peace Abounds

Sounds of life surround
a gathering
in fellowship.
The meeting of unknown,
the greeting of new.

Children’s laughter
fills the air.

~Innocence defined,
life divine~

Adults recapturing youth
in the sweltering heat
of summer.

Relief
on constant breeze
as welcome as
a mothers
upon her new borns
delicate skin,
in gentle caress.

Here age is not limiting~
race is not an issue~
and religion is not divided~
but united
under one creator.

Life in its purest form
fulfills the needs
of those gathered

here
in this place
where life surrounds
peace abounds,

even the birds
don’t mind the heat….

Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal.

Thanks to all of you.
Monday I had the most delightful pleasure
of being in such a lovely place for the entire
day.  There was such a variety of different
people, life styles and religions.  I think
I learned more in this one day with all of these
folks than I have in a very long time.
The day was enjoyed, by all
and YES it was hot.  No one even minded.!

Thanks again and peace to poetry land.

Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal.

thoughts of being in that one
Quiet Place
where faith
where appreciation
where peace
has origins
and
answers. . .

Great work, Donna!
I mean it! Outstanding!

There are many places like this, I think..that first have to be found within your own heart to appreciate.
