Peace is
One step against the line.
One shout above the silence.
A hand reaching out
Another reaching back.
An empty thing filled.
Peace is
Standing alone
Awaiting others.
A single singer
Joined in chorus.
An arm linked
Side to side.
Hands clasped …
Is…
Pain spilled to action
Is…
A bruised soul healing
A torn voice victorious.
Is…
The day we learn
Not to fear.
Peace is
A heart brave enough to love.
