Peace Floating In The Air
Calm pure quiet heavenly love
Peace Floating In The Air
Peace floats in the air like a breath not yet spoken,
A feather unburdened by hurry or weight.
It drifts through the quiet with effortless grace,
As if the world itself has chosen to wait.
There is no sound where it passes so slowly,
Only a hush that feels gentle and wide.
The sky holds its colour, deep blue and unbroken,
While worries loosen and slip to the side.
Nothing is asked of this moment of stillness,
No answers required, no reasons to prove.
The heart settles softly into its own rhythm,
Remembering how it once knew how to move.
The air feels lighter, almost forgiving,
As though it has learned how to carry no load.
Each breath feels cleaner, steadier, calmer,
Like standing alone on a quiet road.
Peace floats in the air without needing a name,
Without a direction or place to arrive.
It simply exists, and that feels enough,
A reminder of what it means to be alive.
I watch it linger, this fragile calm feeling,
Afraid that a thought might cause it to fade.
Yet it stays, unafraid of being noticed,
A gift that was never demanded or prayed.
Peace floats in the air, and settles within me,
Not loud, not proud, just quietly true.
For this small stretch of borrowed stillness,
The world feels softer, and so do I too.

Why Black History Matters in America?
The United States of America is celebrating their 250th anniversary in 2026. I'm proud to be an American and as someone who was born here, I wouldn't imagine myself living anywhere else. This is a country where opportunities are possible. Where anyone can be successful in anything they desire to do. Equality, community, and togetherness are the backbones of what America is and should be about. However, we have an administration who wants to erase and disregard those who have made positive, meaningful impacts in our country, specifically Black figures, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and Maya Angelou. President Trump and his administration have been constantly complaining and fighting against what they call the "Woke agenda". They use this excuse as a distraction from other issues they refuse to address, such as the high cost of living, climate change, and inflation. That equality is dividing America, when in reality, it's bringing us together. Being woke is not tied to a specific political party. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you can still care about other people and their plights. Compassion and empathy for others isn't tied to a political party, either. We were taught as children to treat others the way we want to be treated and not judge others because they're different from us. Caring about others isn't a personal attack on your beliefs. It doesn't make you any less of a person. People who are easily offended over African American figures, past or present, or anything related to it, are grasping at straws. Current and future generations need to know who people like Harriet Tubman and Shirley Chisholm were, especially in the classroom. Black History is part of American History. It should be recognized, not hidden or forgotten. Besides, you can't shield children from everything, just because your feelings are easily hurt.
