Peace on Earth
Montage
Banal terrors,
tortures entailed schoolyard to
street.
Hostile besiegers leap out, shove
face to ground,
strike with weaponized
names,
galvanized noise, militant
toys.
No space to listen, reflect,
learn how
we could peacefully
heal.
Its all teeth and claws, everyday
wars,
every night prayers of repent.
Every
penny spent to hold back the
blame,
shame, certainty that all paths
forward
lead to more of the
same.
*
Battle wary, ready for rest, to
shelter.
Close this sorry chapter; relax,
restore.
Warm, reminiscent of
the peace we would gladly fight
for.
May wise rapprochement emerge,
endure.
*
Ease of peace in contemplation,
bliss of
transcendent imagery, artful
conversation.
Heart strings ring in symphonic
actuation.
Bring forward radiant pools of
welcoming
within cooperation, reflections
change.
*
Energy dervishes, drunk from
fruits of Earth, swirl
into ecstasy; face becoming. Sun
falls from Western skies.
Inner space aligns.
*
Soft sensuous clouds drift and
blend
as crepuscular iridescent glow
descends.
Below, welcoming evening lights,
drowsy trees, cozy homes,
familiar rites.
Recall of feasts, merry meets,
gift of returning friends
evokes deeply desired peace,
belonging, generous amends.
*
Caught up in days’ parade; now
take it in.
Peaceful moments safe with
friends and kin.
Joys of open grace, sad tinge of
loss.
Simple blessings, call of goals
beyond.
Under dispersing clouds, upon
solid ground,
jaunty walk intent on happy
thoughts.
*
Joyful thoughts, peace, ease,
mirth,
the elation of happy news lilting
through the Earth.
I send you a bubble of better
days.
Breathe.
Feel complete
if only for this
moment.
*
Surprised by a cardinal
--
Cadillac red against white
blossoms.
Kind wind; lazy, cloud sheeted
Sun.
Bliss, no distraction
discerned.
Fresh semester blessings, seeds
return.
Earth spins; we want answers
that
assure us yes, so wise, we are
the One
promised. Cardinal bright,
distinct,
against amorphous grays. Fancy
and free.
*
Celebrate Laziness!
Mentor of Invention,
this easy first cousin to
Peace.
Proclaim, reclaim,
claim
such lovely virtue,
calmly, with gentle
elegance,
languid flourish, impish
wink.
*
Wealth of starlight, bed of
Earth
Every miracle seeking
birth
Clouds arouse the care of
air
Music flows through every
where
Simple glass of lake
serene
Holds my I to reflecting
screen
Turn to turn, each glint a
prize
This world revealed through peace
cleansed eyes
*
Taste the bittersweet of long
accumulated earth.
That metallic tang, carbon bonds
long descended through time and dust.
Skeletons broken to rebuild from
waste
carry potential energy into
ancient deserts that tomorrow
we learn to bloom.
