Peace by peace we make things right
When we can talk instead of fight
When understanding counters hate
Our differences are not so great
An open heart lets in the light
Not everything is black or white
The shades of grey enrich our sight
Let’s join together, share the weight
Peace by peace
There is no day without the night
Two sides to stories we may write
When we listen, we create
A bridge to connect and relate
Those once opposed some day unite
Peace by peace.

May it be so, may it flow… om shanti, shalom, salaam, peace, peace, peace.
Please consider yourself officially invited to participate this year's 5th Annual Gratitude (word) Quilt. Instructions (it is very simple) and a link that explains the origin of the word quilt can be found at the top of my blog. In past years there have been participants from every continent except Antarctica. I hope you'll join us:-)
when we listen, we create....for me there is the crux...i hope that such a peace will find us...
Peace is definitely something that nations of the world should actively pursue. It must be worked on together as you have so aptly shown.
gosh, the simple rhymes here strengthen your message, love it.
I enjoyed this. Write the music so we can sing it ...
I loved this so much - the words, the wisdom, and the rhyme.
The form here works well to reinforce the meaning of your lovely words.
Something like a mantra here, LM. Everything covered, everything peaced together.
Excellent. Peace by peace.
Peace by peace ~ I like that ~
"The shades of grey enrich our sight" That really does sum everything up in a nutshell!
Very nice! There isn't enough of it around these days. Isn't peace what we all want in every aspect of our lives?
homonyms for peace!
if only......

Building bridges to connect and relate- it's our work for peace.
There can be no peace until haiku is driven from the land!
Shades of gray are the thing that too many, especially in congress, don't understand.
Peace by peace...love that. May we find the peace to come together, to work together, to accomplish together
Lola, Loved the title, first off. As for the poem, I'm all about the greys, the middle ground, which is where peaceful compromise lies. Another take is racial harmony, and that is the color somewhere between dark honey and light molasses... Honestly, this is beautiful. Peace, Amy
yes, we can only hope and pray for peace
Beautiful peace poem. Thank you so much for participating.
