Holy Fire

Inspired by Judy Black Cloud's photo prompt: Capture A Moment






Do you have a passion for Peace?
Does it burn like a flame inside?
Will you try and never cease?
Will you search both deep and wide?

Put aside anger and hate
and give forth only Love
Be ready to forever wait
for a message from above

Let your Peace consume you
and quench every desire
until you are ignited
with Love’s holy fire

    Very nice peace poem, though that picture does not look so very peaceful and serene!

    I love this...the imagery of being consumed in the fire of peace...love released and no ashes, a clean burn...pure devotion.

    All we are saying, is give peace a chance...

    Takes me back to the 60s, Eric. Give peace a chance, and make love, not war.
