Peace Work

 -------Peace Work------- 

Peace work

is love work

is tough love

 

Is abolition

 

To fall 

the walls

around us all

 

And free the light within.

 

-------

Fullness

-------Fullness------- 

Leafless trees

are not 

empty

 

Humble

maybe

but not without

 

For sunshine 

sugars

from summer gathered

 

Still fill

from root

to tip.

 

-------

Within

-------Within------- 

On the autumn side

of the winter solstice

 

As days approach

their shortest

 

I give thanks for the light

I find within

 

The quiet

and simple things.
