THE HEART SURVIVES / PEACE ARRIVES

by Bryon D. Howell
(USA)

From time to time, we do not feel quite right.

We have a hole which nothing seems to fill.

We´ve given up, we´ve lost the nerve to fight.

Withdrawn. Of coming out, we´ve lost the will.

It´s times like these it´s best to think life through -

a break from all the clamor of stampede.

Live life in neutral. What more can we do?

At least until the pain and fear recede.

From time to time, an honest look within

is what we think to do, prepare to change.

It´s best to feel good in one´s own skin -

before deciding what to re-arrange.

Peace is not something to which we can go.

All hasty moves are bad moves, take it slow.
