Days of Peace

[Poetry, 101 pages, 2021]

Sometimes when we feel the pressures of life coming upon us on all sides (trying to overwhelm us), it might seem to us there are no possible ways to overcome them. Notwithstanding, we have nothing to worry about because we deserve “peace” at every single moment of our lives, and we are getting it.

Biyi Cole’s New York bestseller “DAYS OF PEACE” helps us find that strength to down our hurts, get relieved in the moments and look forward to a more peaceful and splendid future.

“Days of Peace” is a story of a young man and his prescient meditations. It is a brief classical work which explores the theme of “Peace” deeply, from many diverse angles. Told in a steady rhythmical pattern, it makes use of beautiful illustrations, rich anecdotes and rare figurative language.

Self-affirmatory, interdenominational, and straight to the point, it is a motivational and inspiring guide to peaceful living, not just the average self-help book. It really does take care of the psychological, emotional, social, ethical, even spiritual aspects of our wellbeing. Always a perfect gift item for our loved ones, it is a lyrical stressbuster indeed.

EXCERPT

The Days of Peace are near-

The Days of Peace are here-

The Days of Peace are at hand-

The Days of Peace are around-

And so the Days of Peace are the only reason I’m singing this-

I look at it, oh yea, I’m singing “Peace-

The Days of Peace are the only reason I’m thinking “Peace-

It’s a blessing, oh yea, I’m seeing “Peace-

And so the Days of Peace are the ones by the roadside-

Some have nothing; to them, life has been so hard-

The Days of Peace are their great years-

I see them all at a distance, they’re so fine-

And so the Days of Peace are the realities of “Peace”-

Too many to count, they’re the realities we wish-

The Days of Peace are the hopes that are bleak…-

Now fully alight and bright, the hopes we can see-

And so the Days of Peace are a new beginning-

A better start, a gift, they’re better than life’s misgivings-

The Days of Peace are the ones believing…-

“Peace has come to stay and reign, oh yes “it’s a thing relieving-

And so the Days of Peace are the expectations of a crowd-

They try, they survive, expectations that are high-

The Days of Peace are some conversations of life-

How shan’t I go on now, ah, conversations on my heart…
