Poem of Peace for the New Year

Here is a poem by Danna Faulds that seems just right for the new year ahead.

 

Peace Be With You

 

Peace be with you even in

uncertainty and change.

The peace that enters with

each breath also descends

from all directions.

 

The east brings hope,

the west opens up the door

for dreams.  The north and

south will reveal their secrets

in due time. 

 

The mountains and the

solid ground beneath your feet

both offer peace.

 

The whispered voice of truth

refuses to believe in any

reality that isn’t rooted in

peace of mind and heart.

 

Peace be with you, in doing

and in rest, now and always.

                      Amen.
