Experience Peace

Do you hear the cry for inner peace?
>
> Amidst the troubled weather that wouldn’t cease
>
> Despite the shackles of time that cleaves…
>
> Hear your quest for mind rest
>
> That transcends the rough grip of its feathers
>
> I hear the sigh for inner peace
>
> The ironic headline of western news
>
> Of men who paid with blood beyond their dues
>
> And we trapped behind the bars of manipulated media
>
> Troubled on every side like a snow fall in summer
>
> Let’s try the road of inner peace
>
> The hallmark of the preacher’s sermon
>
> The foretold joy of babies unborn
>
> While jailed beneath their mother’s chest
>
> Or thereafter drinking from the fountains of their breast
>
> It is a hunger that wells from deep within
>
> A desire that yells for wholeness and a spark of divinity
>
> The known answers of unknown questions
>
> Answers are not found in these lines
>
> Nor in that of another
>
> But lies in you and for you to trigger
>
> As you close your eyes to the world
>
> Just to have a clearer view of you
>
> You can only experience peace
>
> When you are in one piece.
>
