world peace
At The Peace Center
Each word is a stone
rearranged by the spring tide
down at the seashore.
Earth, air, water, fire
are conjoined here in one piece
at each poem’s heart.
When the tide comes in
all the stones are tossed about
by the water waves.
The process goes on
day and night deep in our minds
with each new thought.
There are two movements
ever at work in all things-
even in ourselves.
These movements make us
Tangential and radial.
We stroke and we poke.
We bump and we scrape
as do the smoothed stones
along a cobbly seashore.
We move like the stones
moving down at the mind’s beach
being rearranged.
The rising waters
immerse us and we compose
in recreation.
Our view is shaken
in each kaleidoscopic
movement to novelty.
Those who are ready
to have their world rearranged
drown in the love tide.
Words come together
to make us compatible
at the peace center.

Peace, Peace, Peace
Peace,
Bring it on
Peace, peace
You do no wrong
Peace, peace, peace
You are strong
Stronger then hatred
Stronger than fear
Stronger than the dark powers
of a troubled mind
Peace
Stay with me
Peace, peace
Flee not, try to be kind
Peace, peace, peace
Why hath thou so tough to find?

Peace Brings Peace
A generation that loves peace will bring peace,
for if you focus on war you bring disease.
Disease in the mind that we are separate,
we are all from the same source.
Nothing dies of course,
it just changes form.
So when we think we have won
by killing another human
we really have not, have your forgot?

Show Peace And The World Will See Peace
If we cry for peace and remain in our houses
War will come
Peace is earned and not won
Show peace and do not cry for it
And its rootlets will grow
Into our hearts and this plant will blossom there
The war we fight in our our hearts
Is more mortal than that with guns
For the gun gets its instructions
From a wicked heart and its direction
By a careless hand
The boundary we set on land could be shifted
But that built in our hearts deeply immobile.

Prayers of Peace
Prayers for peace
rose up in many tongues
from the congregation
gathered round a new pole
hewn by parishioner hands
emblazoned with words
words of peace
written, spoken,
murmured aloud
Proclaimed,
in eight languages
Hopeful prayers, repeated
shared by the congregants
by the members and friends
rejoined after summer’s allure
of the road, camps, the water
renewing friendship
in the community of faith
welcoming others, some for
the first time
with hopeful words of peace
on a day before
we memorialize
innocents lost
in mindless hate
‘May PEACE prevail on Earth.’
