Peace

   Its presence almost eludes me

as I sit here now and observe it.

It's hard to believe with the world

around me

that such a thing could exist.

But in all the trouble and turmoil

occuring here on the earth;

The wars, the fighting, the hating,

hindering us in its wake



It shines through here at this place



As I sit on a quiet seashore,

And thoughtfully watch the waves....
