My War
My Peace
by Wesley Buniger
Occurs in a place
Seemingly in a world
That won’t go away;
Yet, I know that it does
When I look in the face
Of wondrous Love.
The miracle is mineAs I give it today.
Yours to keep
Near your heart should you
Fall short in the way,
Of beautiful Love.
But war is my folly
I’m wont to demise;
I hear my rage darken
An old fam’ly door,
Veil to the holy
Garden of Love.
There’s no one here.
Not evening’s shadow
Or a long waited wave
Nor a spell cast
By a gossamer tear
Know of my singular Love.
From all dead thoughts
Would I fly far away
To where the cold hands
Can’t cover
That which is sought,
My precious Love.
And so I surrender
The good with the bad
Knowing the lost
Cannot leave me
‘Til I remember
My Father’s One Love.
My peace has no boundary
Nor a shinier better
When old heart’s made new
In the midst of illusion’s despair.
At impeccable foundry
O brilliant is Love.
To brilliance beyond
My darkness is done.
Burned clean is my will
And aligned with His own.
I vanish in song
Found at home here in Love
Where forgotten, is gone.
