Left over right,

not too tight.

Hands strong.

Together we weave

our rope.

Let us tether the present

to the future,

feet firmly on the safety

of the past.

We are responsible

for Peace.

She opens her hand

catching sunlight.

The lines of her palm—

life, love and fortune—

different than the day

before.

Star patterns change,

Water ripples change.

Now changes in her heart.

A gate opens for peace.

PEACE POETRY POSTCARD MONTH

February 2016

He rode his horse

with a grace of oneness,

herded cattle, confident

and gentle. But when

the helicopters roared

down the valley,

he hit the ground, flat.

The scars of war

cannot always be hidden.
