Ceasefire

A white dove on an olive branch for peace.

Call for calm amidst world’s angst
Echoes of peace where battles bend
A pause in the storm, even though
Some seek to avenge the deep loss
Every soul yearns for peace to unfurl
For grass to grow where debris adorns
In ceasefire’s embrace hope ascends
Rebirth emerges as spring’s gentle sigh
Ever so timely for dreams to amplify.

  4. I am slowly catching up with your posts, Khaya, please bear with me. I agree, your poem is like a prayer, for peace, for the continuance of hope.
