Analysis of A Place of Peace
Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)
In a world of noise and haste,
I find solace in a quiet space,
Where the whispers of the wind,
Are the only sounds that begin.
Amidst the chaos of the day,
I yearn for a place to stay,
Where the stillness of the night,
Is the only companion in sight.
A world so vast and grand,
Yet the moments slip through my hand,
I search for a place of peace,
Where my heart can finally release.
And in that tranquil retreat,
I find my soul's true beat,
A rhythm of love and light,
That shines so clear and bright.
So let the world spin and turn,
For in this haven I shall learn,
The beauty of a life so rare,
And the magic of a heart that dares.
