Peace
Is not withdrawal
Peace is the surge
The urge
Peace is arising
Swelling
It’s an overflowing
Swing of
Upturning
Turned-up rhythm
Peace is resurgence
Peace is expression
In and of
Common Purpose
Cresting waves
Of purpose
Aligned
Upon a new dynamic line
Peace is
Not withdrawal from life
Peace is not placid
Not flaccid
Peace is active
Busy
Peace is believed
Conceived
Crafted
Peace is for
And not against
Peace just is
See?
And you are its source
And I am its source
And we are its source
Reaching
Reaching from and for and to
Every searching soul
Peace is strength
Of integrity
Peace is faith
In living
Peace is yours
Mine
Ours
Peace is ready now
From Lu Wilson, June 2020, “WOW!”

You really knocked out of the park this time. It so perfectly communicates the idea. Beautiful!

Thanks, Helen! I’m glad. It just poured out with hardly even a spelling mistake. It reminds me of my early poem Amchitka after the underground nuclear blast test in 1971. Lost to all but the fading memory.

Beautiful!

Were we to multiply this poem by 7 billion we would have a harmonious Earth!
Thank you Kevin. Here’s to peace!

And thank you Mr. Iverson. TO PEACE!!
