Peace Is Waiting To Welcome You Home

Always I am your friend,

But I feel our last talk was the end,

For I was not able to play the game your way,

For my game is different,

Whilst I play,

I am not playing,

I am saying in a new language,

That to love is the outcome,

To love is the beginning,

For love is singing,

That in a world where there are only winners,

That the alchemy of compassion is the real gold,

Competition renders the world in a relay,

Striving to beat others,

Striving to be better,

The best,

It is applauding the winners,

Whilst the losers are forgotten.

In my world my heart cries for those in pain,

Always,

But my way is to remind,

To help re-member,

The way we really are,

When we are united,

When we are long sighted,

We can see the horizon,

For the future must be positive,

A negative space has no matter,

For it no longer matters to some,

When one destroys a sacred place.

Unconditional love never leaves,

When one disagrees,

For the object of love is the person,

Not their belief,

It is the human being,

Not the human doing,

That is the shining diamond,

That is the invaluable gem,

For a polished stone,

A Faberge egg,

Fades in comparison,

For the thunder egg is volcanic,

Rough like an oyster,

Yet the pearl within is crystal,

For the crystal children,

See the inherent value,

Within every face.

The world is hurting,

The world is in pain,

That is clear,

Why is it hurting?

Because we feel separated,

We see superior,

We see  inferior,

We believe there is not enough,

Some feed on greed,

Yet it will never replenish the seed,

That is redundant.

I respect your right to opinion,

I respect your integrity,

I respect your right to choose your path,

But I feel for your anger,

I feel for your pain,

I feel for the stain of helplessness,

For the colour bleeds as a shroud draped across a wounded christ,

Your beautiful heart is floundering,

And the world continues plundering,

For the thunder of bombs,

Drowns out the cries of little children.

I wish I could bring you justice,

I wish I could show you the joy,

For your life is a gift,

Your love is a precious sapphire,

That shines in your moments of freedom,

But know that you have helped,

That your plight is not in vain,

For the world is a shimmering sun,

That is warm and forgiving,

It is life giving.

Many quiet achievers work in silence,

Away from the lights and public glare,

For the call has been heard across the globe,

Many are seeking the solutions,

Many are watching the revolutions,

Many realize it is evolution,

That makes one aware of truth,

That there are no differences,

That we are here to share,

That we are all family,

That there is no black or white,

Only hopes and dreams,

For peace is the dove,

Peace is the golden glove,

That is a warm hand,

Waiting to welcome you

home.
