Water dripping, <br />A spring flowing, <br />The sound of a bird in the air, <br />Then silence <br /> <br />Silence like a hope unfolding, <br />Silence like a soft whisper, <br />Silence like a gentle prayer, <br /> <br />That the guns will be stilled, <br />There will be no sound of anguish, <br />No sudden cry of pain, <br />No innocent blood spilling, <br />That there will be peace in our land, <br />No sound, <br />Just silence.<br /><br />Marva Seaton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/peace-273/
