let there be peace

soft calm water spreading
just like a crystal sheet
from your feet to horizon
where it kisses the blue….

oh that sweet breeze
that blows across it
first kissing its calm self
then spreading that to you.

don’t pick up that pebble
it means nothing
that gesture can be shunned
that impulse is easy to control.

think how it will distort
this crystal clarity to muddy
don’t give in to that imp
let peace rule all around us.
