To One and All

To Everyone:

(yes, even you, you thickhead.)

ahem... I didn't save any time to write any of you a card or even a lousy PM so here is all I have:


Peace. Still Possible.


Do with it what you will,
Some will try saying it three times before sleeping.
Some will whisper it to themselves in the whirlwind.
Some will see it shining before them on the brightening road.
Some will say it when they touch their wounds and scars.
Some will speak it at the tombstones.

Some will shout it at our leaders.
Some will sing it in their dreams.
Some will teach it to their children.
Some will touch it with their minds.
Some will feel it deep within.

and all around us, calm and bright,
about, above and just beyond
it calls the others to it's meaning,
it's silent presence in our lives.

Speak it now and see what happens.
Speak it now and pass it on.
Say it now and see what happens.
Just in passing, say it now.

Peace. Still possible.

(yes. yes. yes. I know. Me too.)
