My Poem :
Peace
In the dusk's embrace, whispers of peace
unfold,
War-weary hearts yearn for stories yet untold.
Farewell to conflict, let swords find their
sheath,
Embrace harmony, let the dove's soft feathers
breathe.
Echoes of battles, now fading into the past,
War's bitter spell lifted, freedom at last.
Flags lowered, a symbol of unity reborn,
In the quiet aftermath, hope is sworn.
Tears dry, wounds heal, scars bear witness to
pain,
Farewell to war, let love and compassion
reign.
From the ashes of strife, let peace rise,
A new era dawns, beneath tranquil skies.
