Gradients of peace
Of world we sometimes find
Relaxed into serenity
Peace of humankind
Warmth beside a fire
Glory of days rise
Lost in ocean waves
In gaze of stars realize
A calming of the soul
Ponders something more
Desire out of reach
One felt to the core
Jesus brings a peace
One beyond this world
Hope of the eternal
Soul claims the treasured pearl
So rest within this gift
In tranquil earthly peace
Safe in womb of God
Let all fear release
