Pillar of peace


THE PEACE PILLAR



I am the pillar of peace, your hopes

the veil that would hide is not solid

nor the sky brass that there's no way through

or are all men's hearts bound,as with ropes?


*

The Pillar of peace is just the promise

the gift itself, all transcendent

don't you see that? what makes men so blind?

the clouds of your minds cause a miss


*

Come all you children into the light

but you'll have to crowd together

my rejoicing is roundness, no-one first

this will not be acheived by might


*

I pour me down, my peace is for you

why stand you afar off gazing

if only the token carries such hope

what will the reality endue?


*

Those who have seen my Pillar of peace

have I not broken through the storm?

I'm calling to you the people come

bathe in my fountain, anger cease

All we need such type of Pillar.

Hello Ranjeet the poem came from another photo of the sun beaming through dark clouds and titled "lull before the storm" and it so bugged me, why should it not be rather a token of peace. But when people are oppressed politically it is very easy to be negative and understandible, strangely enough the original pic was taken from South Africa where I had thought significant progress had been made under wise leadership. Let's pray for peace among people. and I wish you peace and happiness.
