In Pursuit of Peace...

I scaled the heights of mountain tops
And plumbed the depth of seas;

In search of that elusive dream called peace
But never could hold it within my grasp;

As I returned weary at heart
My eyes lit on a blade of grass;

Glistening with a single drop of dew,
Streaked with bright rainbow hues,

My feet stopped on its own accord,
As I drank in the wondrous creation of God,

A tiny voice whispered in my mind,
"Is this the peace you were searching for?"

It dawned on me then in a lightning flash,
That all the world's beauty lay reflected in a tiny splash,

Likewise, the peace I was seeking so desperately,
Lay within my heart if I could but feel it.
