Peace Whispers

It was a whisper
that floated past
milling crowds
of travellers,
buyers,
sellers
and settled in the hearts
of quiet shepherds,
men of wisdom
watching the stars
and a young girl
in a barn.

Peace. . .
rarely found
anywhere else
but in the hearts
of those
who stop long enough
to accept it.
Peace.
