Peace, Be Still

1980's (?)




Peace!
Be still!
There's a whisper in the wind!
There's a song in the tree!

Peace!
Be still!
All the earth sings!
It's there!
Can you hear it!
Be silent.
Beauty must not be disturbed...
It lays among lions.

Peace!
Be still!
Your presence is noted!
If you startle
It will snap at you!
If you weep at it
It will run from you!
It fulfills all things!
Be at peace!
Be at peace!
And rapture in the arms of beauty.
