Blue noon shines o'er the sea; <br />Waves break starry on the sand; <br />Lights and sounds and scents come free <br />On the radiant air of the land. <br />I am filled with the melody of waves <br />That take my heart onward in tune; <br />My heart follows yearning after, and craves <br />No other delight nor boon. <br /> <br />They enfold the earth in desire <br />With a closer and closer kiss; <br />From life into life they expire, <br />In dying their birth and their bliss. <br />I am melted in them, I am filled <br />With the passion in peace they have found. <br />Even so would my spirit in peace be thrilled, <br />So be lost in a love without bound. <br /> <br />Peace is no tame dove <br />To be caught and caged in the breast, <br />No, nor untamable Love <br />In a moment lightly possest. <br />Peace is wide and wild, <br />And Love without master as the sea; <br />He is soft in his ways as a little child, <br />Yet is mightier far than we.<br /><br />Robert Laurence Binyon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wild-peace/
