Peace is not calm,

nor is it weak,

it is not timid,

when it speaks.

 

Peace is on fire,

bold and strong,

it will take on hatred,

and subdue wrong.

 

Peace is a warrior,

on a noble quest,

a valiant force,

at our heart’s behest.

I’ve bought my ticket,

I’m going 1st Class!

Setting out on this quest,

on this lives long path.

 

My past is a story,

an interesting read,

but I’m leaving my baggage,

of which I don’t need.

 

I look through the window,

recognise all I see,

the Buddha land scenery,

familiar to me.

 

The weather is clement,

worldly winds have calmed,

the passengers valiant,

Dharma Sister’s at alms.

 

I’m enjoying the journey,

no rush to get there;

with guide book in hand,

and the wind in my hair!

 

We stop at the station,

other travellers alight,

we’re sharing this vision,

Enlightenment in sight.
