Peace For All Beings *
Oh God to You we give thanks... that in time Polish horses... defeat Nazi tanks (to Alex Hershaft)
*
How many have been frozen bombed starved or blown apart by Hitler, Bush, Genghis Khan, Churchill, or Bonaparte?
*
Weary ants rest on the pillows of soft pussywillows while a family of ducks floats on seabillows
*
Pansies fringe the rusting panzers
*
Ivy and violets vy not with the violent.
*
As the unchanging blue waters of the lake reflect
the gold, crimson, pink and saffron of the changing fall
so the peaceful soul absorbs the ups and downs of those
in crisis
*
Above a battle grey with smoke and crimson with blood in silent
contrast break pastels from the palate of sunrise.
*
The groves of life randomly grow
but Arlington's deathbloom
graves... are set in rows
*
a deep pool at every waterfall base
.. postcrisis waters of God's resting grace
*
God will rearrange the stars into a special script for you...
a fortune cookie strip of joy. a secret message, a puzzle
solution.
*
There are the stars of purple framed night
streaming peace, pouring light
*
Some call occupying oil, pharmaceutical and war profiteer cartels
"the US" but we the people of America
from Sacramento to Schenectady
reject such syndecdoches
*
One by one in many countries they break through the ice of fear.. cups of crocuses .. stand up in caucuses .. East to West from Africa to the Caucusus and show their eternal allegiance to the maker of their sun: Creator of all of us.
*
Those who wend their way on the opposite
side of the road are not our foes. Each stays within the
lines as peace on both sides goes.
