It takes such a long time
to receive one simple blessing
like rest.

Not just good sleep
and a breath out,
but soul revealing
it can rest with or without
a place, in the clear light
of love, knowing
this moment is the best
it could possibly be
and so coming to the eternal
wish we all share,

peace.

Peace right through
the rose of dawn
and deep into liquid night,
the old dream of a people
healing dance in a circle
which still exists,
will always exist,
unfolding again to
quietly shuffling feet
and an infinitude of blue
sparkling all around.
