Sol
Shadows still play
On the path to peace
Veins of the vicious
Testing our strength
To reach for the light
Dodge the darkness
Stretch your arms
To the sun
Embrace the heart
Of humanity

Stay tuned next Sunday for our final post for Collaboration for Peace. This has been an amazing experience. We hope to pass on the torch of peace to you, that you will join in the power of creativity and kindness to inspire others.
This door is on a renovated Victorian house. I wish I’d taken photos of the whole house too.

Sleepover
we booked the gig(gle)
for Friday night
and I wore a wig(gle)
just for laughs
we danced a jig(gle)
until the street lights came on
by the glow of a flashlight
we read poetry
until our eyes drooped
and the words were mere squiggles

Dreams of Peace
we hang our dreams from
broken branches of hope
where they flutter listlessly
until the breath of peace
whispers aside the clouds
and we dream once more

A Cloudy Day
clouds drift by forming pictures in the sky
a horse, a dragon, a tall sailing ship
I watch them pass and dream that I
am floating along with them
no longer tied to earth, now just pictures in the sky
forming and reforming into fanciful shapes
a dog, a castle, a huge butterfly
the wind begins to howl and beak apart
this cloudy art and I must say goodbye
run back inside and from my window gaze
at a blank canvas, erased of all pictures in the sky
Out of Standard: Multiple Choice
It’s time for some Multiple Choice in the Garden
–
Choices
You brought me a star
Shall I wish upon it
Or fling it back into the night
You brought me a song
Shall I sing it back to you
Or muffle the melody
You brought me a poem
Shall I recite it aloud
Or let it sit on the shelf
You brought me your heart
I will hold it tenderly
Next to mine


Doors? Well, not exactly but these are openings into dwellings.
I didn’t have time to get pictures of the doors I spied while driving this week.
