Peace
Doves and olive branches,
Signs of every kind,
Appear so man can n’er forget
“It is the tie that binds.”
Children play and sing their songs,
While we wait in the park,
The blessedness of that event
Will really make its mark.
To concerts we will go,
To ballets we’ll appear,
All games to view; the skies are clear,
Security is near.
The streams run clear, the clouds appear,
We whisper in the wind,
No nuclear blight, no shadowy sights,
Mutual concord’s ‘round the bend.
c. Poetic Universalisms, I by Lena Smith Carter, 2006.
