Will peace be not gone only by and by
Fall away like summer days asunder
Now only a thin ribbon of blue sky
Swept aside by gloomy warring thunder

Fast do the dark clouds of reproach return
Swim and swirl in the swamp of lost desire
War only so lost in a fire could burn
Such jealousy stacked so neatly on a pyre

Will peace like flowers grow faded and old
Keeping pressed between the pages of time
What of a story that was never told
Holy words mere muffled sounds of a chime

Only when we let love conquer boldness
Can we trust each other in holiness
