The Peace Dove Continues to Sing
To the moon I am calling
Please do not stop shining
Upon our dark failings
Where are we going?
We can be anything
Can we be everything?
The sun’s golden bowstring
The clouds rainbow swing
A penguin’s happy wing
An owl’s nightly hooting
He, who knows everything
And tells us nothing
While the peace dove continues to sing
Daily praise for Martin Luther King

It actually may never be “in the world”, but we can have peace in our hearts, live lives of peace, and we can sew peace in our “corner of the world” every day with love, compassion, joy, helpfulness, respect, etc. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Lyrics from Leonard Cohen’s song “Anthem”
“The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don’t dwell on what has passed away
Or what is yet to be
Ah, the wars they will be fought again
The holy dove, she will be caught again
Bought and sold, and bought again
The dove is never free”
