Peace Where Are You

Peace, why do evade me like a thief in the night,

leaving me with the shiver of hope that is like sunbeams,

racing from the grasp of the clouds.

You are like a love that comes with the birth of a new day.

No pain nor sadness, could pierce the perfection I feel

from the serenity you offer.

Days come and they go, more rapidly than the hands of time can measure,

And they're gone, the darkness comes, but refuses to leave,

While it grasps my mind and body, I die, day by day and moment by moment.

Ready to lay prostrate, on the ground, awaiting my fate,

once more you return, to call me to rise and give me courage to go on.

Your kiss to my heart, makes my soul leap for joy.

The arrows of pain cannot strike my body, to make it cry out in agony.

I know you will be mine, when at last the darkness leaves to return no more.

The brightness of your light will lead me to you.

And peace, will be mine for evermore.
