Picture a meadow <br />sheathed in snow. <br />Imagine the glow <br />of a rainbow <br />arcing toward the sun. <br /> <br />Now picture the world at peace. <br />Nations sit down to feast <br />on the bounty increased <br />from west to east <br />by proclamation. <br /> <br />The picture is blurred. <br />How absurd, <br />they say. But I’ve heard <br />from the battle injured <br />and from the dove <br /> <br />that it’s worth the time, <br />it’s infinitely sublime, <br />and hardly a crime, <br />to want to climb <br />toward universal love. <br /> <br />The fairy-dust of a dream? <br />It would seem. <br />But like gold dust's gleam, <br />sparkling in a Sierra stream, <br />it shines. It shimmers.<br /><br />Sonny Rainshine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/picturing-peace/
