The bombs burst in the air
Exploding glitter across the black night canvas
Raining a million shards of gems
Upon the earth
The children of earth
Shriek in glee
Gales of wonder and praise
Clapping hands at lights and noise
Why do we imitate war when we celebrate peace?
Are they such close kin we cannot distinguish
One from the other? Waging war in search of peace
Shouting Peace, Peace
But it is war in masquerade
Shedding its mask to reveal its sword
Start anywhere
The reverie of the verdant forest
A place to meditate undisturbed
The jewel studded night sky over the cool desert expanse
Worlds at peace
Look closer
The hawk of the forest stalking the robin’s nest
Greedily waiting for eggs to hatch
Black holes collapsing and light year
Distant worlds colliding
All worlds at war
My garden beckons to me
With its lush green serenity of peace
Beneath which a war is waging
Between weeds and flowers
Pests and seedlings
In another garden the kiss of a friend
Ignites the war that ends on a cross
A war to bring coveted lasting peace
That at last does not contain the seed of war
