Wow! My Poem for The Walk for Peace put to Music ☮️
Hi Everyone 👋 Yesterday I wrote a poem for The Walk of Peace, which is a silent step-by-step journey across the USA for 2,200 miles, and with each step, love, compassion, and loving kindness are shared, openly, freely, and unconditionally🙏 Then my dear friend @Mark Eldridge from HapiVibe Movement created a song based on my Poem 'The Earth Holds Its Breath', they are both posted in the threads below, please read, listen, and share in your communities if you feel aligned to do so 🙏 The Earth Holds Its Breath In robes of sunset, maroon and gold, On city streets, a story told, With measured steps, the pavement beats A silent drum where compassion meets. Each footfall, soft, a prayer released, A westward moving, gentle feast For weary eyes—a bold, quiet grace That slows the frantic, human race. They carry nothing but the air, And yet a weight of global care Is in their palms, turned toward the sky, A silent asking: "Why, oh why?" But in the asking, peace is sown Like seeds in hearts and asphalt grown. A bow, a smile—a thread is spun Between the many and the One. So in our halls, let's walk that way, Not just today, but every day. With open hands and quiet might, We turn the inner dark to light. For peace is not a distant star, But this: to see just who you are, And in that seeing, deeply know The shared world where all peace can grow. With Love ❤️ Always Mark
