So many movies and books predict nothing but darkness and gloom in our future. Maybe that’s easy enough to understand with the fact that we so often seek force rather than reason to overcome past and present hurts. But, maybe we need to do better to get better?
To Find Peace by Michael Doyle Will the world become dark desolation Where the world has toppled along with its nations Will it be a world of suffering and annihilation In which only war and loss await every nation Death rolls out from the truck bed Quicker than prayers are able to be said Will this be the world that we have set Or, is there some hope beyond our regrets It will take more than pithy words from a shelf As we are whittled down to ourselves If we are to find our way through to victory We will need more than metaphorical imagery Minds only stretch so far before their ruin This is often the key to our undoing Only healing will being our reconciliation Forgiveness preventing the path of our devastation It may sting a bit to find that way to peace But once we do, we'll find our release In the nakedness of the morning's first light We will bring a new day out of our darkest night (c) July 11, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
