Peace

Peace tastes like
bubbles being blown
free and never poppin’
soapy clean on the tongue

Peace smells like
dandelions and clovers
Growing wildin’ clumps
across the meadows fresh
to roll across, the better to
catch the minglin’ your nose

Peace feels like cool autumn days
Just crisp enough for sweaters
and everyone to be out
walkin’ jumpin’ crunchin’ leaves

Peace sounds like the hush
after snow–where sounds
are crystallin’, sparkling in clarity
and the hush magicin’ throughout

Peace feels like abundance
enough food for everyone
a safe place to be layin’ one’s head
Kinship and friendship without jealousy
Space to be creatin’ and buildin’
