Child Play

Child Play
when a bully is present
a child will retreat
maybe asking for help
from someone bigger than the bully
or gathering others around
to show a solid force
and the bully is defeated
his dominance unseated
and the child goes back to play

In the Midst of Chaos

In the Midst of Chaos
for some time now
we find ourselves
in the midst of chaos
as always
the way we cope
and hang on to hope
is to go within
deep into the heart
a safe place
to practice our art
of loving kindness
to go to quiet and peace
where the chaos we release
becoming the emptiness
allowing a space to begin
to begin as the new
it is all we can do
forgiving the past
a new net is cast
into the future

A Prayer for Peace

A Prayer for Peace
let us pray for peace
and from our hearts release
vibrational waves of love
connecting to our Earth and to above
let us understand that there still are some
who feel acts of aggression can be done
to control and take away from others
breaking all that the Rule of Peace covers
let us send our support and love
to those who suffer
understanding the definition
of mental illness will cover
those who command such atrocities
and we pray for help
may we find new ways to bring about peace
for our retaliation to acts of war and our weaponry
can only release
more suffering
let us be creative in how we reach out to those
who live in the country whose leader is one they chose
the leader who has been named
as the one who can be blamed
for this act of war
perhaps they can be the ones
who also do not want to lose their daughters, their sons
and also want peace in their land
for they are responsible for who they allow to command
and taint and paint their country’s reputation
let all come together
to decide as to whether
they can allow this to continue
unabated
for the heart of a country
is its people
let us all pray for peace
let the old ways cease
any feelings of hatred and anger we release
let us be love
what we as humans are so capable of
let us be love
