Beauty Beyond the Earth

 

The Bird of Love brings peace to people in this sky of Light,

Our destiny is shining bright in between those protective wings;

 

Beyond the borders of fight,

We can finally find serenity,

Harmony and peace in this world.

 

In our arms flowers will replace weapons,

Children will love each other for decades and decades to come,

And replace fights!

 

We can never forget

The primal nature of which we are made,

Beyond the differences of colour

There is this Bird inside us!

The flight against darkness is inside us,

This bird of hope is inside us,

Our fight to surrender to Light is inside us,

 

Never forget that our future is our decision inside;

Every one of us carries the responsibility to help the world

To fly on the this strong dove;

 

 

We cannot accept the desperation of Love,

From your colour difference to mine

Our humanity expresses this deep desire for Peace.

 

Could peace have a colour?

Maybe white, the colour of all the colours!

 

May Light and Hope help us reach this

Scintilla in our heart,

And from us bring to the world

This dream,

This promise to fly one day together,

The whole human family, beyond the reality and beyond

The dreams, let’s express our powerful true nature of Peace.

 

We could offer this precious gift to the world we live in,

So to bring the earth closer to the stars!

 

Let’s find the Bird of Peace inside of us,

LET’s REACH THE CORE OF OUR SOUL

And never let the Bird of Love die…

Peace is our nature,

For being better together!                                                January 2005

 

 

 

 

 

Working for Peace

 

 

This mutual help for peace

Creates harmony in the core of Humanity

The Great Peace as a mother

Protects these children and guides them all.

 

Escape from darkness to light,

Our future will shine bright,

Effort to re-find a lost wind

That could reach the level of the sky.

 

The Dove of Peace

Is pure and smiling,

 

Our energy for this bright destiny

Will transform the sufferings into positive

Dignity.

Open Your Heart to Love

 

 

A dove of Love and Peace

Through the window of our heart,

Brings Hope to us...

 

Never close this opportunity,

An eye open to your destiny,

To bring harmony to humanity.

 

Obstacles are there

Beyond the glass window,

But they will serve us

To learn from each other;

 

Open yourself to the other,

From individualism to brotherhood

To reach serenity…

 

Could I belong there

So my heart will give love,

Instead of suffering,

 

Oh! Please, Spirit of Peace,

Touch my life so it becomes bright,

Together with all of humanity.
