SIMPLE PEACE (FOREIGN CONCERNS)

Folder: 
JOURNAL #27



                                                              



think of my hand as your blanket



the essence that is



this never idle soul



a swarm of bees



needing to be touched



and reaching out to the need



that dwells there



touching a world  that would otherwise



shrivel up from



its own cold



if it were not for the hope



that endlessly whispers in the hearts and ears          



of all men's fears and deepest unspoken longings



that for which is



SIMPLE PEACE

Author's Notes/Comments: 

written for my Palestinian friend Salim when he told me of an incident he went through at an Israeli checkpoint!I do not approve of the suicide bombings but my heart went out to my friend Salim who is in no way part of all that terror.

Simple peace … I know. Happiness is in simplicity. Simplicity leads to understanding. Beauty is also so simple. But life, regrettably, is complex. Alas.
Fortunately, there are beautiful poetesses such as you who make reality bearable.
Accept my admiration beautiful mind… expressive brain. I love they way you sing poetess. Keep on singing. Your songs are like the breeze that refreshes the souls after a hard day work.
