PEACE
by Dr. Silvia
Hartmann
Summary
Peace is a metaphorical poem in which poetess Dr. Silvia
describes the destructive and peaceful nature of the wind side by side. The wind is
furious in the form of a storm and destroys everything around. The poet describes
that it is not the only face of the wind. The wind usually remains calm and
peaceful under the bright blue sky. This side of natural phenomena fills our
lives with real joy, goodness, and peace. Instead of encouraging the evil side
of the wind, we should appreciate peace, love, and benevolence. The nature of wind
to act differently teaches us a lesson of life that humans have to experience
storms to achieve peace.
Theme
We have to face hardships and storms to get peace in our
life. Natural phenomena teach us that it is not easy to enjoy peace without
countering the storms and hardships.
Central Idea
Instead of encouraging the evil side of things, we should
appreciate peace, love, and benevolence related to them. The truth about peaceful nature is known on a bright shiny day.

The wind is now
a roaring, smashing
monster of destruction,
Raking all man’s work from the valleys,
from the vales,
and sends them spinning,
broken flying
but all of that is not its core,
its center is in truth
eternal stillness
Bright blue skies
And all you hear
Are gentle whispers far away and unimportant
