    thank you, erin, for your appreciation and support! thank you also for pointing toward the single word at the end, which sounds like going from multiplicity to unity.

    this is nice. i admit it is a little hard to read because of its repetitive nature, but the message is clear and beneficial to all. simple is definitely not always bad. i also like how it gets shorter at the end, to show that peace is a much more simple idea than people tend to understand.

    As with the prior comments this does come over as a rather beautiful chant.
    I think it is very good.
    Good luck in the contest and always.

    Blessings

    dear brother rod, thank you very much for your support and sweetheart's echo. thank you for your advice which points toward the eternal present. although i appreciate your suggestion, for respecting the topic of the contest which invites to write a "blessing", my feeling is inclined to keep the "may be peace..." formulation. though it maintains the illusion of becoming, it sounds more comprehensible as a fulfillment wish, for those who are not familiar with non-dual perspectives.

    Brother jean-marc, I have to echo my sweet lady's sentiment. This presents a beautiful chant, encantation, chanson....I would only change it by say:

    Peace IS in your heart,
    Peace IS in your body....

    Be peace, my bright brother!

    very dear maa, thank you so much for your kind encouragement and support. i know as much you love creativity for yourself and your close relatives. your own creativity is an example for all of us. so thank you also for bringing such a refreshing way of life, which liberates from the burden of memory and invites to open ourselves to the natural current of love and sharing.

    you know, sweetheart, I actually find your style of poetry quite unique ! no kidding ...
    I love poems that even a little child can understand, and all the great sages and wise ones have always spoken in simple words, haven't they ?
    so now you have to get some courage and confidence to express yourself in english, in your particular way, because no matter the form it will take, your message will reach the hearts of those who are meant to be touched by your wisdom and love.
    much love to you,

    marion

    thank you very much, wolfheart, for your kind feedback. no, i don't think there is any name to such a form. i have not a wide vocabulary in english, and don't know how to write poems in rhyme.
