MIRRORS OF LIFE
NO MORE WAR
I NEVER KNEW THE BATTLE WAS OVER
I NEVER KNEW OF THAT OPEN DOOR
OUTSIDE A CREATURE WAS WAILING
WHILE INSIDE ME THERE WAS NO MORE WAR!
SO COME BRIGHTEST ANGELS IN GLORY
WING ME AND MINE TO THAT SHORE
FOR POET HAS FAITHFULLY BATTLED
AND FOR US THERE IS NO MORE WAR
I BELIEVE I CAN HEAR A BELL RINGING
AND A VIOLIN NOTE DANCES THE AIR
WHILE A BEING ATTIRED IN WHITE GLORY
HANDS REACHING, INVITES US ALL THERE.
"COME CHILDREN", HE WHISPERS, IT'S OVER,
THE FATHER AWAITS YOU ALL THERE,"
AS TEARS RUSH FROM EVERY PORE IN OUR BODY
"YOU CAN ALL SET ON HIS RIGHT IN THE CHAIR."
AS FAR AS MY EYE SIGHT COULD TAKE ME
THRONGS OF PEOPLE CAME MANY MILES WIDE
MILLIONS AND BILLIONS POURED FROM THE DISTANCE
ALL AROUND US, AND YET, DEEP FROM SOMEWHERE INSIDE.
I PRAYED," DEAR GOD, LET THIS LAST FOREVER"
AS I SAW EVERY DOOR WIDE, AJAR
THEN CAME THE BOOMING ANSWER FROM GLORY:
"MY CHILD YOU ARE SAFE....NO MORE WAR!"
