Softly

You never impose yourself.
You always give us freedom.
Freedom to decide ourselves.
Freedom to do as we want.

You are never noisy.
You are soft and gentle.
You say so much
without saying a word.

You are never far away.
You are always here.
When we need you,
we just have to open our hearts.

You are endless.
You are complete.
You are what we need.

Yet, the world is so tough and rough
that many people do not listen
to you or feel you anymore.
Absorbed as they are in the race
to excel in reason and materialism.

You do not ask us much.
You just want to be cherished.
You are Peace and
you want us to be part of you
and to never leave you.
