PEACE

by Dr. Silvia Hartmann

PEACE SUMMARY, FIGURE OF SPEECH, NOTES


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.

  Let's read the poem "PEACE" aloud

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
