PEACE IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE
You speak to me
In your gentle voice
Sounds like notes played
On your guitar
There is thunder
In the distance
In the mountains
Do you think they
Are peacefully bowling
Peace would not include fear
It would include kindness
And laughter
Peace would include play
And children
But life is not that way
Life is made up all things
The good and the bad
And it could not be another way
When we are invited to the banquet
We want to taste all that is offered
Things happen
And they are not things we like
And almost at the same moment
Things happen that we do like
We choose to wear a coat of many colors
We choose to be sad when loved ones die
We choose to celebrate births of new people
When it is possible we choose peace
It is not always possible

Even if it’s not possible I like the thought of peace being something we can create… and acceptance that we should accept that sometimes we just have to get past it.
Thank you for your comment, Bjorn.

Ha, I thought I left a comment here this morning. I love that peace should include kindness. That is so true. Love the idea of bowling in the mountains making thunder sounds. And, sadly, it is true that pace is not always possible. We strive for it s much as we can. At least personally. The global situation is out of our hands.
You probably did. It is because my Somethingsithinkabout-annell-annell.blogspot.com, is linked to my annelllivingston.com(art) site. So I post at annellannell.wordpress.com and the other…and I think you are subscribed to Somethingsithinkabout…. I appreciate both your comments. I started using wordpress, because blogspot stopped notifying you that you had a comment. Often so much is out of our hands. Thanks for your comments.

We can only control ourselves. We can make choices or not.
Thank you Toni. Yes, to your words.

Peace is a privilege that is very elusive. Very true!

Peace can be elusive, even when we long for it. Thanks Hank. >
Peace is gift…. not to be trifled with and yes, sometimes elusive.
Your words are true! Thanks for your comment.

Peace has become something we dream about, just out of reach. Beautiful poem, Annell.
Peace would not include fear ~~~ I will not soon forget these words.
We could not live in peace entirely, but a little peace is a good thing. Thanks for your comment.
