Struggles to Peace
inner peace...
We struggle to hang onto the old,
The familiar - to life…
Afraid to let go into the unknown
Yet without the struggle, we let go of the strife…
We try to hide our weakness
We question, we yearn
Because we can, we give
And through that we learn
Bearing hardships, lessons, tests
Up down, on the waves of fortune, glory
Who we have become
Tells our story…
It’s not in the objects we acquire
Nor the words we speak
It’s the connection from the depths of our heart
That our loved ones seek
Yet when all is said and done
Through our willingness to grow
Does the inner light inside
From our strength of faith glow
BE - as a page that aches for a word which speaks on a theme that is timeless...
To trust our expanding awareness
The only power love
Is to reach the freedom of knowing
Acceptance of all is the dove…
