With a Flower

 

-------With a Flower-------

 

Turning away 

as the world is burning

or when another is being hurt

 

Allows the violence 

to spread 

like fire

 

And endangers 

all 

of us.

 

Peace is not indifference

nor is it the absence 

of confrontation

 

It is those 

who refuse 

to turn away

 

Guided by spirit 

and doubtless 

in their direction

 

Resisting as a means 

to bring each other 

home

 

Like dandelions 

breaking through concrete 

with a flower.
