Paper Poetry’s March 2025 Prompt
Poetry As a Bridge to Peace
Celebrating World Poetry Day
peace, a state of being
in the moment thereafter
manifest in-outwards
do with it as you will
While the world-at-large continues hellbent on pursuing its state of unrest and turmoil, we each have a deep-seated need for peace. Internal peace. Tranquility of mind, body, spirit and soul. A place from which we can connect with the core of our being, understand and accept who we are, where we’ve come from and where we are going.
Peace, much like happiness, comes from within and is expressed in the way we engage, react and respond to the world around us.
Peace is a mindset, an aspirational goal, a way of life.
Peace is a bridge to our freedom.
We can manifest peace just as we can manifest our hopes and desires.
Peace is not an unattainable dream. It is ours to be had, to be shared, to be coveted.
Peace is the gift we bestow on ourselves and through that we give honour to others and all things.
Peace is in the words of my poem and the words of peace I bestow upon you.
