Tranquility Leaves Poem by Peter S. Quinn

Tranquility leaves of silence
And rivers with voices young
Flowers of dust and violence
From which this life has sprung
Your silver threads obligingly
That come so close and near
Wings you should spread free
To give from your heart dear

I've seen you're poured out tears
From every suffering and pain
Many months of summer years
These shadows have reigned
Now it's time to turn the page
Give a breeze - and understand
Each rusting chaining shall age
Until you're free to command

To let new skies become blue
Inclined in peacefully harmony
Bring some sunshine through
That captivates each true beauty
Carries life that ought to abide
On branches of fanned dreams
Under skies of fairness sighed
Where true compassions streams
