A Twinkle of Time
by Peggy le Johnson © 2008
A twinkling of light
in a far off sky,
a twinkling of suns
beyond our galaxy.
A twinkling of life
beyond comprehension,
these are the things
I dream of.
A whisper of night,
in a far off land.
A whisper of peace,
unheard of by many.
A whisper of faith,
shouted from the rooftops.
These are the things
I hear.
A hope of tomorrow,
looked down on by many.
A hope of guidance,
no one seeks.
A hope of a child,
lost, not forgotten.
These are the things
I hope for.
Yet one day,
in the not so distant future,
when we look again
into the night sky.
Peace will reign
across the planet
and those who fight it,
scorn it,
will just
fade away...
