We Wait
For ashen skies to
Drift and greet the sun
For time to turn this
Turmoil to tranquility
As gifted abilities
Go to waste
We wait for walls to
Fall but they will stand
Unbroken as long as
Goals remain unspoken
We wait for peace
To magically evolve
Like childhood dreams
And it clearly seems
That we have lost our way

Nature sings to me
In melodies of sun
And baritone shadows
Harmony on forest’s floor
Echos of peace

At B&Ps Shadorma and Beyond we are finding inspiration in the words of Bob Dylan.
I’ve taken mine from All Along the Watchtower.
Waiting
I’m watching,
waiting for the truth
listening
for sweet songs
telling the stories of peace
that will heal our wounds

Self Reflection
gazing into the still lake
I see a stranger’s face
staring back –
distorted with worry
brows knotted
mouth a tight slash
and then
I trail my fingers through
the cool water
inhale deeply
and watch as ripples
sweep away my cares
allowing peace to
settle over me

Burgeon
Seeded in the same soil
Some will bask in
Universal beams of light
Shadows lurk and twist
Not all hearts will evolve
To bear the fruit of peace

Knock, Knock….Peace, are you there?

We create our own castles
Brick by brick
We build walls
High enough to obscure faces
And far away places
Pain and anguish muffled
By our own missions
~
We wonder but don’t worry
Slow down from our hurry
Only to throw a few pennies
Or thoughts without physically
Touching a soul
~
We wait for peace like we’re
Waiting for the sun to
Burn holes through mortar
Did we forget how to open a door?

Heart Song
Sing your own song
fling it into the air
be bold
uncontrolled
shout your own words
devout words
or somber
words of joyfulness
let your heart speak
its unique language
in poems of hopefulness
and peace
Find peace in the shadows and joy in the sun.

In Sun and Shadow
sometimes we sit
in the
shadows
content to be
a quiet observer
– champion of
others
sometimes we shine
like jewels
in the sun
bringing joy
to all who pass
our way
Mish and I hope you find some time to slow down and marvel at the everyday bumps in your life.

Ordinary Marvels
I longed for beauty –
collecting it in the things
and people surrounding me
filling the shelves of
my life with shiny knick-knacks
discarding anyone, anything
that didn’t sparkle
and when the glimmer, shimmer, glow
began to fade – showing itself
a temporary pleasure
I began to wonder at the
ordinary – to marvel at the
bumps and thorns that
make life real
Mish and I hope you hold on to your inner peace this week.

Lost Peace
Some where buried
under the chaos
of everyday
peace has gotten lost
but I will find it with
my eyes closed
I will hunt by
feeling with the
fingers of my heart
searching among the
stones that were
thrown until I touch
the smooth, comforting
warmth that is my peace
