The Sound Of Peace Poem by Practicing Poetess

The Sound Of Peace

Rating: 5.0


The sound of peace, so sweet,
Is not silence.
The sound of peace
Is words of comfort
Spoken in low tones.
The sound of peace
Is leaves gently swirled
On a soft breeze.
The sound of peace
Is the chirp of the cardinal
Calling to its mate at twilight.
The sound of peace
Is a mother's lullaby
To soothe a fretful child.
The sound of peace
Is a kitten's purr
As it begins to nap.
The sound of peace
Is a crackling fire
On a cold winter's night.
The sound of peace is pleasantly quiet,
But is not silent.

I agree, except that I find that silence is most peaceful. No radio, no TV.

Silence is Golden. There are times when it is absolutely necessary. Thanks, Michael, for commenting.

Dr. Tony, thank you so much for your sweet and lovely comment! I am touched by what you wrote! Sorry about your mother; she was so very young. There is an old saying that only the good die young.
