A prayer for peace

A prayer for peace

While I’m walking beside the bay 
What an incredible sight to see 
I decided to sit and stay 
To enjoy my remaining day. 

While staring at the skies above 
There I saw a flying white dove 
A symbol of peace, hope, and love 
Which was created by our Lord God. 

The colourful hues of sunset 
Which enlighten my inner quest 
Burning stoically at the west 
An incredible masterpiece. 

Peace, that’s what I feel this moment 
At last, after I’ve experienced torment 
By that someone magniloquent 
It has now alleviated my disappointment. 

Hands clasped together, I decided to pray 
As God removed my heart’s dismay 
That savoured feeling with closed eyes 
Calming! feeling rejuvenized. 

Live, with a pure heart without hatred
To everyone, I’ll recommend 
Just savouring life without greed 
Peace be on the throne, and war will end. 

I ask for a right direction 
As love and peace, I beckon 
Follows the healing of the nation 
With pure heart prayer intention.
