In the dark, I find my peace.
My mind ignites, my stress released.
In the quiet of the sleeping morn,
I find my spirit is reborn.

Peace and Justice are intertwined
And if one remains undermined
The other will still elude us.
We must be sure to include us.
As we deny one another,
And as we exclude each other,
We, too, leave ourselves behind and
Have no place on which we can stand.
So if you want enjoy Peace,
And want your fears to be released,
Ensure that each has a fair share.
Let Justice be done ev’rywhere.

I relish silence
In this world of endless sound.
It’s a priceless gift.

Peace is not passive.
Love is not a brief feeling.
Both are living verbs.

Peace comes not from threat of force,
From fear or wealth, some fragile source.
Peace is found in people whole
And fed and free; when every soul
Has food to eat, a place to sleep,
When we collectively can weep
For all injustice, every loss,
Beyond all superficial gloss.
When we build each other up
And share of every meal and cup,
When we drop arms of every kind,
Maybe then some Peace we’ll find.
Yes, educated, healed, and loved,
We’ll find the Peace we’re dreaming of.

Be touched by suffering,
Yet let not your living cease.
One cannot carry every weight
And live for joy and peace.
Yes, let your neighbor’s hurts affect
Your heart and soul and mind.
But if you have no peace yourself,
What hope can you help find?

I arise to start the day
In my humble little way.
Sacred Scripture, poetry,
Some coffee, all bring peace to me.
I think we all could benefit
From simple mornings, dimly lit.
For if in peace we start our day,
We’ll likely live and end that way.

A person needn’t die to see
Heaven’s Light or Hell’s debris.
In every word, with every deed,
We choose the kind of Life we’ll lead.
Hell’s fires light with words of spite
That keep us trapped in endless fight.
Yet if we can forgive and love,
What Life is that but Heav’n’s above?
You see, we choose our fates right now.
Sit back, observe, and you’ll see how.
It’s best that we remember this:
Eternity is in our midst.
