Peace is not found by
By waging of war or
By raising one nation’s
Flag over another’s land
Peace is found by the
Lowering of all flags
Erasing all boundaries
Coming to see all as one
Peace is not found by
Excluding freedom from many
In favor of the domination
Of the elite few at the top
Peace is found by the
Emancipation of inclusion
Of equality consciousness
Of all and many as one
Peace is not found by
Turning plow shares
To weapons or by turning
One of us against another
Peace is found in the communal
tilling, planting, reaping of
God’s bountiful harvest of
In Heaven as so on earth
Peace is not found in the
Point blank power of
One’s prestige of riches
Or greed of armaments
Peace is found by centering
In the loving kindness of
A karma of compassion
Of all hearts as one
Peace is not found by
Standing strong and
Courageous upon the
Field of human battle
Peace is found in one’s
Vulnerability of embrace
In one’s victory of truth
And in one’s valor of Self
Peace is not found by a
Focus upon conditions
Of world affairs, world chaos
Or of the world’s opinions
Peace is found by the seeing rightly
Beyond the illusion of appearances
Into the illumination of truth
Of love as being ever present
Peace is not found by questing
For in truth peace is never lost
Peace is as near as the love
One holds dear in one’s heart
Peace resides in the close
Of one’s soul – it flights
On Spirits high soar of
God’s wings of eternity
Peace is God’s eternity of
Love, Light and Truth in
Which all questions are
As one with the answer
Peace is the smile of a newborn
The flight of a flock of doves
The Knowing beyond Knowing
Life is eternal and evermore
Peace is the oneness of all
As perfect, whole, complete
It is the giving-ness that
Forgives all grievances
Peace is the unlocking
Of the awareness that
Love is all there is, and
That all there is, is love
Peace is the awakening within
To the truth of the without that
Each of us is as all of us in the
Oneness of God in our hearts
Be well,
Stay conscious,
Namaste
And so it is

Beautiful, Michael! I’m looking forward to seeing you again.
