Poems of Peace/Are you Searching?
ARE YOU SEARCHING?
Are you searching for the happiness that does not fade
away?
Are you looking for the joy that lives, and leaves no
grievous day?
Are you panting for the waterbrooks of Love, and Life,
and Peace?
Then let all dark desires depart, and selfish seeking
cease.
Are you ling’ring in the paths of pain, grief-haunted,
stricken sore?
Are you wand’ring in the ways that wound your weary
feet the more?
Are you sighing for the Resting-Place where tears and
sorrows cease?
Then sacrifice the heart of self, and find the Heart
of Peace.
