Trying For Quiet:
The kind and quiet peace that once pervaded my soul,
Has gone into the shadows,
And though I might wish it so,
Serenity has fled my mind,
And scenes to dark to bear come to visit,
I suppose in some distant corner of personal time,
Gentleness might be released again,
For now I must urge caution,
For I wish not to fuel darkness' flames,
No let me paint in rainbows,
I beg you Lord release the pain,
Let once and all kindnesses rule,
And spirits again to soar,
I am trying for quiet,
And upon anger I wish to close the door.

I wish so much I could turn away all these
thoughts of wars & rumors, these worries of
how men might devise evil & disperse it.
I wish we could have back what we had less
than a month ago. Never the less, I know this
nation, we will stand back up & carry on,
and find our way back to peace in time.

| Daniel, I think it is a good thing that we can put our pain in words. For once the pain is on the outside we can start healing on the inside. We are there to support one another until peace comes again. Sharon | |||

| Close you eyes and feel the love. The comfort and warmth sent from above. The angels surround you, they're always there. Guiding and protecting- with God's blessing to share. I hope this verse puts a smile on your face. Another wonderful poem, Dan! | |||

| Dan, Great job yet again. I think you hit on something a lot of people feel. If we could go back to a happier time, maybe we'd feel better. But we probably took what we had for granted at that time, and now we cherish it and are willing to make sacrifices to get back to that peace. Kat | |||
