Peace
Is the breeze on your skin
The emerald green grass
beneath you
as it tickles your feet

Peace
Is the clear blue sky
lit up by the midday heat of a tropical sun
as the city below it
carries on with its busy day

Peace
Is more
than absence of war
It is the peace we have 
with each other
And the inner peace that 
communicates understanding and forgiveness
