☮️ Peace Poems by Dale Stubbart
Where is Peace?
We think that Peace has left us forever.
When we focus on our heart, we remember that Peace has not left.
We just went next door.
We think that Peace has left us forever.
There are daily reminders that Peace has not left.
We just went next door.
We think that Peace has left us forever.
The consoling Wind reminds us daily that Peace has not left.
We just went next door.
We return from next door.
We return to Peace.
Fervent Peace
Fervent Peace comes whispering on the Wind
Glowing embers fuel my soul
giving life to my fire
At the end of a flame
lick Anger and Vengeance
seeking to overpower me and those I love
Anger and Vengeance
will bring the justice I seek
but at a price too high to pay
Passion and Ecstasy form another flame
whose height is hard to reach
I lose myself while trying to scale its peak
For a moment, Passion and Ecstasy
will bring me satisfaction
For a lifetime
they bring me emptiness
Flame licks into flame
Anger and Vengeance become Passion and Ecstasy
Flame licks into flame
Passion and Ecstasy become Fervent Peace
the third apex of my soul
Fervent Peace, where are you
my soul longs for your resolution
my soul longs for your answer
My life tosses back and forth
between Anger and Passion
between Vengeance and Ecstasy
I try to douse the coals
but they burn ever brighter
I keep the lid on my soul
so that others will not see my fire
Flame licks into flame
for a moment I have Fervent Peace
Flame licks into flame
then it’s gone again.
But Fervent Peace comes riding in
on the whisper of the Wind
Anger is strong
Passion has its moment
Fervent Peace is everlasting
Flame licks into flame
the fuel burns brighter
the embers are now red
Fervent Peace is alive in me
whipped ever higher by the Wind
Anger, Passion, and Fervent Peace
are the three apexes of my soul
Anger and Passion serve Fervent Peace
Fervent Peace serves the Wind; no other
My fire is no longer hidden
You Are More Whole
You are more whole than you already know
Everything will come together
You will know your infancy and your now
You will see all your failings and all the times the world has failed you
You will know that that is a fraction of who you are
You will know that you are so much more
So much more of unfailing, of not being failed
You will have peace, my friend
Peace that could never have come your way
Peace that you could never have wanted, never have understood, never have hoped for
Everything will come together
You will know that you are no further from that victory
Than if you stood where you are standing
You don’t have to move
You are whole
If only, you could see through the gaping hole in your middle, you would know
Just how whole you are
And that’s a lot!
The Mountain’s Out
Just because you can’t see the mountain, doesn’t mean that it’s not there
Just because you don’t feel loved, doesn’t mean that no one cares
Hush baby, the mountain’s still there
Hush baby, we still care
“Even so, you will not be given stones when you ask for bread!”
So, if you find that you are carrying stones,
… First take them out of your pockets
… Then skip them across the water
… To usher in a new world
Your True Essence
Peace requires you to keep going deeper into the core of your being.
Peace requires you to keep going deeper into your relationships with others.
Be your true essence
Call forth their true essence
Rise together on the Wind!
What Brings Peace?
No matter where you look,
the message is always the same
Only Peace brings Peace
Express Peace
Speak like the Ocean
Speak with peace
Speak like the Ocean
With authority speak
Speak like the Ocean
Full of adventure and excitement
Express your life to me
The above Poems are part of my book: The Language of the Wind: Blueberry Juice for the Soul
Your Primary Reaction
Until your primary reaction is not fear
Until it is not rage
Until it is not anger
Until it is not hate
Until your primary reaction is joy
Until it is peace
Until it is caring
Until it is love
Your emotions still need healing
Consider taking them to the emotion spa
A place in your mind and heart
Where your emotions are pampered
Treat them with joy, peace, caring, and love
And they will start to heal
First Fall in Love
First, you fall in love with the Universe
Then you learn to listen to the Music
Which draws you into the Dance
Next you go whirling into Paradise
Where you run into the waiting arms of your Mother
This causes you to remember that you are at peace
All is one
You are not alone
You are in love
For some, life starts in the womb
For others, life starts at birth
For us, life starts every moment that we fall in love
Listen to the music
The music which is inside you
The music which surrounds you
The music of the spheres
Embrace the music
Be drawn into the dance
Trip the light fantastic
Fall in love
Take one more chance
Whirling into Paradise
You fling open that door
And let love into your Universe
Be at peace evermore
Your mother is waiting
With arms open wide
Walk together through fields
Where wildflowers strew their petals of love
The above set of poems are from my book The Wind is Whispering: Whispering in your Ear
A Blessing of Peace
May you find peace today.
And, if you can&';t find peace, may you find beauty.
If beauty eludes you, may you wonder
Or wander, whichever you fancy
May you step out of those things which drag you down
May you find things to be not quite so difficult
May whatever's pestering you, stop
May you find time to spend with those you love
If nothing else, may you notice a light shining across your path
May it remind you that you are breathing
And, breathing might be the most peaceful thing of all
That poem is from my book The Deep Path
