Peace - A Poem by Swami Vivekananda

Hiya!
    If you’ve been wondering where I was, and why I had deviated from my usual “serious” style of writing, well, I figured that you might want a change ;) But, here I’m back in my true form. Ladies and gentlemen, let me present you a song written by the great philosopher Swami Vivekananda.

    This poem speaks of peace. It talks of how paradoxic peace is. It talks about the joy and tranquility of peace. I hope you enjoy the poem as much as I did :)

Peace

Behold, it comes in might,
The power that is not power,
The light that is in darkness,
The shade in dazzling light.

It is joy that never spoke,
And grief unfelt, profound,
Immortal life unlived,
Eternal death unmourned.

It is not joy nor sorrow,
But that which is between,
It is not noght nor morrow,
But that which joins them in.

It is sweet rest in music;
And pause in sacred art;
The silence between speaking;
Between two fits of passion –
It is the calm of heart.

It is beauty never seen,
And love that stands alone,
It is song that lives un-sung,
And knowledge never known.

It is death between two lives,
And lull between two storms,
The void whence rose creation,
And that where it returns.

To it the tear-drop goes,
To spread the smiling form
It is the Goal of Life,
And Peace — its only home!

                        - Swami Vivekananda

    How was the poem dear reader? He speakest sooth! Peace IS definitely  “the beauty never seen” and the “love that stands alone”. Makes you wonder about why we fight. Why we waste lives for trivial reasons. Why we are so jealous of our own lives, but dont give a damn to others. Makes you think of the reason for it all…. The battle…. The war…

     So think it over beloved reader! Meanwhile, stay tuned to BlogForPeace… :)

    I hope may controversial president may read your poem.

    “The power that is not power,
    the light that is in darkness.”

    That’s peace.
    With peace you wont destroy, you will build.
