Peace is on the horizon

The thirst for power is quenched
When we choose to drink deeply
The healing waters from the river of gentleness

The need for control is lost
By choosing to stand firmly
On the ground of our own innate freedom

The seemingly never-ending quest for solutions
Is put to rest when we learn to
Express compassion towards all life on this planet

Choosing to put aside all agendas
Allowing ourselves to love and be loved
Causes the world of peace to rise on the near horizon
As assuredly as the stars light the night sky

For someone special

The song of your voice echos in my heart, each time I say your name. I see two elder tress. Over time we have grown close together, each in our own different part of the Great forest. The leaves and the tiniest of our branches have discovered each other. It will take time for our branches to fully intertwine. I want to savor and enjoy each moment of that with, YOU!
