In the mystery
Peace in the unknown
Accept the beauty
In what is revealed
Keep faith in the obscured
Accept the beauty
In what is revealed
Keep faith in the obscured
I remember
And I write
Words seeking time
In some future dream
When the Flanders torch
Shall not be passed
We will no longer ask
The young to die
For causes wrought
Upon the lie
Of righteousness
A time when poppies bloom
In their rightful spring
Not this remorseful
Autumnal rite
No longer red
No blood be spilled
But lovely white
Our peace fulfilled
I bask
In expansion
Become vivid
In my finite
Infinity
A rugged shoreline
In splendid
Repose
While I
Breathe silently
In time
With the rush of ocean
Upon the land
Dappled sun
Offers
Tonic warmth
I don’t know why it’s there
Not that I really care
It’s warm
There’s sun
That little bit of string
Is just the perfect thing
Than when my mind is quiet
Connected to all things
At peace with myself
And the moment, just as it is
Sheltered from
The wind
A little
Below the cloud
Upon the land
This restful haven
