Wage peace with your breath.
Breathe i...Wage Peace<br /><br />Wage peace with your breath.<br />Breathe in firemen and rubble,<br />breathe out whole buildings<br />and flocks of redwing blackbirds.<br /><br />Breathe in terrorists and breathe out sleeping children<br />and freshly mown fields.<br />Breathe in confusion and breathe out maple trees.<br />Breathe in the fallen<br />and breathe out lifelong friendships intact.<br /><br />Wage peace with your listening:<br />hearing sirens, pray loud.<br />Remember your tools:<br />flower seeds, clothes pins, clean rivers.<br /><br />Make soup.<br />Play music, learn the word for thank you in three languages.<br />Learn to knit, and make a hat.<br />Think of chaos as dancing raspberries,<br />imagine grief as the outbreath of beauty<br />or the gesture of fish.<br />Swim for the other side.<br />Wage peace.<br /><br />Never has the world seemed so fresh and precious.<br />Have a cup of tea and rejoice.<br />Act as if armistice has already arrived.<br />Don't wait another minute.<br /><br />--Judyth HillDuanesPoeTreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053093400086634552noreply@blogger.com
