Peace

I love the stars that fill the Night
That breathe their life, their hope, their Light
Tiny diamonds onvelvet black
Clouds that cover, hide, retract.
Water smooth as silk does stand
Lined and shimmer with silver strands.
Soft cool breeze amid the air
Bringing sweet smell of pine and fair.
Hear the silence, feel the ease
All asleep amid the trees.
Dewey drops on grass now shine
The sun is coming, so bright, so fine.
The greatest thing you'll ever see
A new beginning, a Dawn, so free.
