Perfect Peace
Only when there’s calm and quiet within Can the harmony of perfect peace ring in Only when the storms inside are spent Can the message of universal peace be sent When the heart has billows tossing high Of hate and anger, pride and Mammon’s cry Can the voice of peace e’er dwell therein When raucous clamour drowns its soft reply? We look for peace to enter from without With clarion call and with a victory shout We quite forget that peace is like a spring From out of each heart just a trickle bring And join it all till with a common song Perfect peace like a river will flow along Gathering strength from what each heart pours out More mighty than any army the world rolls out ~ Shalini
