fires burned down our trees;
so we prayed for the rain to come:
mud stole our homes.
evaporating...
giving up water...daily,
the sea remains full.
day ends with sunset;
eventide brings on the night;
twilight steals the show.
winter takes her rest;
spring now ushers in the day.

just be the sum of themselves:

where love and peace are,
hate cannot find a place here;
neither can war be.
in this world of war,
flowers no longer grow here:
earth's peaceful womb cries.
deep in my mind's womb,
in the web of pregnant hope,
silent words linger.
