Peace
Peace – real peace – not piece-meal – not pieces of peace.
Just peace, lasting peace.
Where no weapons are used,
No bloodshed,
No lives lost.
Just peace, lasting peace.
Man’s ego wants and wants and wants and wants more of wants,
And yet peace brings what he really needs.
He has confused his wants with his needs, what he really needs.
Peace – peace – peace – peace – peace.
This is what we need,
In our heads,
In our hearts,
In our souls.
A peace that soothes nations,
That heals a world,
That shines the light through the depth of the darkness,
That helps the crops of love to grow again,
That helps embrace the difference
Of who we are and what we do,
Of healing hurts,
Of towering strength,
And lightness of heart.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.

A NOSE
Some nostrils go in and out,
As if to say,
Look At me,
You Lazy Lout
EARLY JUNE MORNING
Lazily the horses wake up on this early June morning,
The weather had been so kind to-day,
The summer sun brightens the surrounding fields
WORDS
Words can be powerful things,
Be careful how you use them,
Be careful of their tone,
Be careful how you say them
