During April, National Poetry Month, we are posting a poem a day. If you would like to suggest one, please email it in. Pete Jackson submitted the two following poems. They are lyrics from the band King Crimson and were written by Peter John Sinfield and Robert Fripp. The songs serve as book ends their album In the Wake of Poseiden.

Peace: A Beginning, by Peter John Sinfield and Robert Fripp

I am the ocean
Lit by the flame
I am the mountain
Peace is my name
I am the river
Touched by the wind
I am the story
I never end.

Peace: An End, by Peter John Sinfield and Robert Fripp

Peace is a word
Of the Sea and the Wind
Peace is a bird who sings
As you smile
Peace is the love
Of a foe for a fiend
Peace is the love you bring
To a child

Searching for me
You look everywhere
Except beside you
Searching for you
You look everywhere
But not inside you

Peace is a stream
From the heart of a man
Peace is a man, whose breath
Is the dawn
Peace is a dawn
On a day without end
Peace is the end, like death
Of the war
