Peace

Elusive thing
When raised to a banner
Yielding masses to agree
Malleable
Diluted
Tempered
Alchemized
In the fire of ambition and power
Objectified
As the price we pay for spilling blood
In the name of slippery, volatile constructs
Burnt to ashes without feathers springing on renewal flight


Peace
The elixir running in the veins of nature
Content with Being
Basking in the effervescence of life
One day one night at the time
One drop of rain
One ray of sun
Smiling at the reflection of existence
Crowding, dew drops, rivers and lakes
Ferrying aliveness all around the earth
Into the twinkling stars and galaxies afar
Softly
Expanding
Growing
Accommodating
In the magic space where all fits and nothing is left behind
