PEACE PLACE

It is time to create a place in time
A place of no-time-ness
A place where tomorrow hasn’t come
And it’s not yesterday
Where all ages sing and dance
All happily at play
Where our great-great-grandparents gather
To show they still exist
And our children’s children show with their own
Young ones for a current glimpse

Come now let’s make the choice to meet here
This present dwelling space
Find open-hearted welcome
In this sacred peaceful place
Where visible love and joy manifest
No need of hurry, no need of rest
Where music flows, words glow
As each becomes a friend to know

A place where no one’s ever lost or fallen
And certainly not abandoned
Where hope is nourished
And despair is stranded
Where misunderstandings disappear
When gratitude is near
Where loneliness cannot survive
When bright connections thrive
Where stops the weeping caused by fears
And only laughter causes tears
