Ode to Peace — You Are the One Sam Schwartzentruber

Oh Peace, the beauty in you —

You are a gazelle grazing on the prairie grass in the blazing sunlight. You feel like a sea anemone, still as a rock, yet your beautiful bristles wave in the ocean current. You sound like a garden with bees buzzing and bunnies frolicking in the soft soil, mixing happiness and joy. You smell like crisp apple pie with the scent of love and passion.

Oh Peace, you are a garden park embracing the nature around you. You are the one that everyone loves.

Oh Peace, you are the one that knows what to do. You are the one, you are the one— you are peace.
