Peace is the fragile meeting Of two souls in harmony. Peace is an embrace That protects and heals. Peace is a reconciling Of opposites. Peace is rooted in love, It lies in the heart Waiting to be nourished, Blossom And flourish Until it embraces the world. May we know the harmony of peace. May we sing the harmony of peace. Until in the last of days We rest in peace.
Terry Waite CBE (b. 1939) was a special envoy to the Archbishop of Canterbury when, in January 1987, he was captured by terrorists in Beirut while attempting to secure the release of hostages. He was held captive for nearly five years.
