Poets For Peace

Peaceful Sunset -
Peaceful Sunset © Carolina Russo

This is my submission for #PoetsForPeace

PEACE

a precious word I have been thought
from the day I was born

a word made of many words
a word made of many colors
a word made of many thoughts

a word to be shared

a word that rhyme with love
and acceptance

find harmony inside yourself
to walk peacefully during your life path
with enlightenment

love yourself to love one another
open your mind to freedom
and maintain it possible in this world.

©Carolina Russo
