Can There Be Peace?
before us each and all
before us is the cross
of four points
centered is the Savior
of four Passover cups
drunken by the Savior
of four Gospels
spoken by the Savior
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
who is this Savior?
He is the King, the Prince of Peace
this Lord and Mighty One
He is Jesus
He is before us each and all
before us each and all is the cross
pointing north south east and west
His Blood and Flesh given for us
for peace
“peace?”
“can there be peace?”
peace is only found in Him
not in arms, not in mighty men
no, peace is found in the way of Christ
and those who truly follow Him
with Christ
there is peace in the home,
and peace in the Church on every side
there is peace in the nation
and peace in the schools
there is peace on the borders
and there is peace abroad
with Christ all things are possible
and there can be peace
where peace has never ruled

In a World.....
in a world constantly celebrating darkness
we must turn our eyes to
what is good,
what is lovely,
no matter where one lives,
he can find what is good
what is lovely
he must seek it out
whoever seeks will find
avifauna or birds
feathered formation flying forward
able to begrudge gravity
lifting themselves windward
winging hundreds of miles
migration
known destinations
10,000 species
what is good
what is lovely
what is overhead
look up!
