Unraveling Whispers Of Peace Poem by Gift Okorie

'Shock shattered the calm,
Tears searched for a face to claim.
Sadness wrapped itself around me,
Words fled, leaving silence to reign.
Maybe it was just a mistake,
A dream that would fade with the dawn.
But reality dug its roots deep,
And wishes couldn't turn it around.

In the quiet, I spoke to the skies,
Tears poured out like a restless sea.
I questioned why, I searched for peace,
But answers hid behind a veil of grief.
The weight of sorrow pressed me down,
Yet in the darkness, a light flickered around.

Then, like a sunrise, joy broke through,
But shadows of fear still lingered anew.
I fought to find my calm within,
Gaining hope with every step I took.
And slowly, the storm began to fade,
As peace and joy in whispers softly played.

The journey's not over, I still roam,
Through paths of memories, both old and new.
But with each step, I find my way,
And learn to live with what cannot be undone today.'
