The Strength of Peace (poem)

29 Jun

The Strength of Peace

Peace may be a whisper, barely even heard,
Maybe just appearing as a single word.
Lost amongst so many others flying around,
But somewhere within them, peace can still be found.
Somewhere amidst those harsh words being spoken,
Is that precious word of peace being woken

Peace may be lost for now, somewhere far behind,
Amongst those words of anger, it’s hard to find.
But still that word keeps appearing here and there,
Creeping gently over the edge of despair.
Moving away from those dark words that bring pain,
Nudging words of light into the world again.

Peace may be forgotten by all those who hate,
But within our hearts, peace has the strength to wait.
Those words of hate will end, burned by their own heat,
Then from those chards, peace will stand on its own feet.
Peace will march forward as it becomes a call,
For always, peace is the strongest word of all.

Harmony is the answer (poem)

16 Feb

Harmony is the answer

Harmony is the answer when today gets ripped apart,
From those scattered fragments, there’s a new world waiting to start.
Within all of those pieces, the good bits can still be found,
A chance to scoop them up and leave the bad bits on the ground.

Harmony is the answer to confusions painful spin,
Slowing our lives down, giving a chance for peace to begin.
Seek out those fragments of kindness, use them to line your life,
Then toss in pieces of hope, to ease you through times of strife.

Harmony is the answer when tomorrow’s lost its sight,
Reaching beyond the darkness, using peace to find the light.
Pick up those scattered dreams, set them straight once more,
Dust the damage off them, then back into your heart, restore.

So if harmony is the answer, how can it be shared?
Bring together the pieces that showed how this world once cared.
Mix it all together with the love found within your heart,
Then spread it around, let everyone receive a part.

Let love and harmony bring all of our dreams together,
Use peace and kindness to guide them through the stormy weather.
Discard all of the bad fragments that fell out of the pain,
Let us build a better world with the fragments that remain.

Anger is not the answer (poem)

08 Feb

Anger is not the answer

Anger is not the answer, no solution can it find,
Nothing good can grow from the tattered words it leaves behind.
Nothing can get better when words of anger are in flight,
Obscuring the present, robbing the future of its sight.

Anger is not the answer, don’t let it be your envoy,
It does not know how to mend, but only how to destroy.
It flings harmony to one side, leaves chaos in its wake,
All the love, peace, joy, and kindness within you, it will take.

Anger is not the answer, so don’t let it win today,
If it comes close to you, step back and let it go its way.
Anger can never put right any wrongs that there may be,
It only makes things worse, with solutions harder to see.

So if anger is not the answer, what can take its place?
Try taking a step or two back, and slowing down the pace.
Look at the bigger picture, let understanding begin,
Toss anger out the door and welcome compromising in.

Let love and harmony guide you through angers tangled maze,
Hold on to peace and kindness, as you move through the haze.
It may be a struggle when anger’s darkness brings its strife,
But the light of love is stronger, let it shine through your life.

Let peace find a way (poem)

14 Jul

Let peace find a way

Let peace find a way when anger rages all around.
In amongst all the confusion, let calmness be found.
When chaos takes control, keep your own order within,
Banish those shards of anger, let the healing begin.

Let peace find a way through the turmoil and the sorrow.
Anger has no place in the world of our tomorrow.
When no path can be seen that would take anger away,
Then within your own life, let your calmness guide your way.

Let peace find a way on whatever road that you take.
Peace can always find a way in the choices we make.
Fighting anger with anger will just help it to grow.
If we let peace in, then a better world we will know.

Just what is this world coming too? (poem)

22 Jul

Just what is this world coming too?

Just what is this world coming too?
Just where is it going today?
What are we all trying to do?
Does anyone here know the way?

I woke up confused this morning,
Unsure of the person to be.
As I stood stretching and yawning,
I looked at the world around me.

Everything there is changing,
It’s not the world I use to know.
There is too much rearranging,
A different world’s now on show.

What can I do to improve things?
Can I bring this all to a stop?
Keep a world where the robin sings,
And where the bunnies can still hop.

Standing here in deep reflection,
I look around at what I’ve got,
What can help from my selection,
And the answer is ‘not a lot’.

So, what around me can I move?
What here can help me to begin?
I realised that to improve,
The changes must start from within.

Step by step I’ll change how I live,
Or at least not do any harm.
Where there’s hate, learn to forgive,
Where there’s anger, learn to stay calm.

To make this world a better place,
Each of us can play a small part.
Each of us can show a kind face,
And bring love back into our heart.

Sailing through a crazy world (poem)

29 Oct

Sailing through a crazy world

In amongst the craziness of this modern life,
Can we find a place where calmness can still prevail?
In amongst these raging seas of trouble and strife,
Can we find a harbour from where hope can set sail?

Those storm clouds of confusion have spread all around,
With thunderbolts of anger lighting up the skies.
Wherever we look, there is no clear ground to be found,
There is no hilltop seen from where the flag of truce flies.

Just what do we do when the world has lost its way?
Is there anything that I can do to change things?
There is no clear path, when I look around this day,
No better life promised with what tomorrow brings.

Perhaps I cannot change anything around me,
So maybe I should stop, just let it all pass me by.
Perhaps there is no better future that I can see,
So maybe it is in today that I should try.

If the outside is lost, then I should let it all go,
Let it take all its craziness out of my view.
Perhaps it is the inner me I should get to know,
Seek within myself for a life I can renew.

I can change who I am, replacing anger with hope,
I can change my life, try to toss out all that sorrow.
Within, I’ll build a ship of love, then release its rope,
And let the wind of kindness steer it through tomorrow.

You can’t help everyone, but… (poem)

21 May

You can’t help everyone, but…

You can’t help everyone,
But you can help out someone,
There is always some kindness you can give.
You can’t help all those in need,
But you can do a good deed,
You can show them they have a life to live.

Kindness comes in what we do,
Helping others to get through,
Showing them that someone really does care.
We can guide them on their road,
Help them to carry their load,
Encourage them and say ‘you’re getting there’.

Understanding can be shown,
When others face the unknown,
A torch we can hold to give them some light.
Help them face another day,
Pointing out a better way,
That there’s a brighter tomorrow in sight.

A bit of love from your heart,
Can help their lives to restart,
Giving them the strength to keep on going.
And when you decide to rest,
Knowing you have done your best,
In your heart, your love will still be glowing.

A Crack of Forgiveness (poem)

08 May

A Crack of Forgiveness

A crack of forgiveness,
Just a glimpse shining through.
A chance to readdress,
The pain living within you.

A chance to open up,
Unlock forgiveness’s door.
Retrieve forgiveness cup,
And hand it out once more.

A chance to bring healing,
To find where anger ends.
To once more start feeling,
That you can become friends.

A crack of forgiveness,
Can become a new sun.
Shining with hopefulness,
Against pain, you have won!

Please be at peace with me, my friend (poem)

26 Mar

Please be at peace with me, my friend

Please be at peace with me, my friend,
Even though strangers we may be.
Let our anger come to an end,
Let us set our harmony free.

Please come and sit with me, just here,
Let us spend time with each other.
Do not be afraid to come near,
Come, let us greet one another.

Please accept my hand of friendship,
Through the confusion of today.
From the cup of peace, let us sip,
Let our promises find a way.

Please talk to me about your ways,
Let me learn about how you live.
Let us talk of happier days,
With each other, learn to forgive.

Please now walk with me, by my side,
Let us find our way together.
Let understanding be our guide,
Let our peace remain forever.

Courage within troubled times (poem)

26 Feb

Courage within troubled times

Within the troubles of today, comes the sorrows of tomorrow,
When harmony has lost its way, and there’s no peace you can borrow.
When all around are shedding tears, and forgiveness cannot be found,
All you see is a world of fears, everywhere you look around.

Just look within and you will see, a place where your soul can retreat,
Where you can set your spirit free, to keep you standing on your feet.
Your inner courage can come out, your inner peace can bring you calm,
Your inner hope clear out your doubt, your inner self kept safe from harm.

The outer world’s fallen apart, so within yourself just hold tight,
Within yourself just hear your heart, and let it bring to you some light.
Let it show your courage the ways, you can make changes here and there,
To guide you through these troubled days, to let others know that you care.
