PEACE UPON HIS FLOCK poem

Peace Upon His Flock

The steeple nudges
above tree tops
their foliage moved aside
as God’s finger

points the way to Truths
Love and Forgiveness

lights sparkle like diamonds
from lamp poles
sprinkled below the hill
their destiny
to highlight children
adults and other members
of families

asleep within the castles
of their inheritance.

The sky is filled
with radiant colours
stretching as redeeming fire

and Peace captures
the silence of God’s voice.
