Mark R Slaughter - Peace Came lyrics

When peace came, I showered under streaming light - Silent, settling - Effectuating over all - The rea**urance drunk From Mother Nature's breast. And rays channeled through The greys of ancient gloom That paste the hopelessness of Dying on the battlefield or The losing out upon a risk In love; Byes to precious life (A husband, child, a wife) : Or failure: Crashed careers; bleak depression, The fallen - ruined, spurned - Covered in veneers of rasping blight. When peace came, a gate begged A gentle path inviting me to Stroll through verdant fields of spring, Bristling with a bouncing life Of colour; flowers cheering to The air ‘We have a chance in nature! ' When peace came, my addled head was Reconciling, airing, ringing true - The sense of crushing pressure dead; Instead, I flamed a faith anew! When peace came, I saw our youth Inside a multicultural womb; our d**h was pointing to a proud And glorious tomb engraved with words of Freedom for the soul that was when Once a body whence it thrived. When peace came, there happened you - A fragrance dancing ‘gainst a new and Frightened innocence of beauty - Eyes ready; slender arms of care - A tender skin to be caressed. And we were blessed by starting fresh In rhythms of pervading warmth; Serenity.
