Peace For All Beings In his arms died
Ariel Sharon's Gur
his small son
who in error shot himself
with Ariel's gun
The eyes of his
wife Margalit
were by God's candles
lit
She died under stars
which left heart scars
Years later his beloved
Lily
by lung cancer was made
to leave
as God continued
to remove the flames
in his heart.
May he now
watch his favorite
limes grow
.. on trees which
replace cattle barns.
May he now cherish
Palestinian rights
to their
trees of cherry
and their date
palms and olive groves
which take time
to grow.
May Yasser Arafat
who eats no meat
spread everywhere
nonviolent peace.
May each of us now
become
temples mosques
and churches
of shining Spirit sun
in which no harming
thought word or deed
can take root.
May all fruit trees
and birds, raindrops
and fountains
ocean waves
and spruce mountains
teach us how to
breathe peace.
As what we think together
descends into reality
we all become lakes
of cool peace
to which thirsty birds
and deer and
fireflies
can come.
