Valentine Prayer for Peace

Let
Peace rain down upon the earth
Strong and sweet
Quenching the fires of
War
Lust &
Envy.

Let
Love rise up from the soil
Clean as dew
Touching the breath of a new day
Holy with kisses
For enemies
No longer.

Let
Joy wrap arms around this world with
Sisters and brothers
Hugging hard hearts soft
Breaking bitterness, shame & fear
Tears no longer
Stinging.

Let
Kindness whisper loudly in our ears
And deafen weapons to silence.
While anger is still
Until we
Only hear
Singing.
