Peace

The sky has darkened to its usual night shade The stars have risen to stand proud Peace seems to fall lovingly like soft snow It kissed my cheeks, whispered in my ear It played with strands of my equally dark hair Moist on my lips it wiped away the parched cruelty of ages The eyes that held gloom once Have smiled a little Causing the eyelashes to flutter And for once my heart settled My head nestled in the kindness of universe Blanketing me it promised affection Reminding me how compassion felt like How an unknowing smile made me smile How a slightest crinkle of eyes Warmed me from inside Thank you for staying right by my side When even I have left my side Thank you for bearing with all silver lies You were there You don't know But you were there When I hid myself and disappeared You were always there Smiling and a little more smiling
