Blossom

simmer down, sweat not
  sally on
let your bud, blossom,
open like arms
     to the world
     to the world
     to the world
  one smile
at a time, timed
to meet each soul
to greet the sun
and moon, not
with chagrin
but with mercy and grace
making friends
  a garden of Eden
no trace
of evil speak 
  awake
to a bouquet
of possibilities 
     when hate
     when hate
     when hate
                abates

Your poem sounds like a wave swinger. So around we go. Hugs.

Kim, I could almost see myself in one of your poems' peaceful settings. Your views are ethereal, my friend." Charming poetry that hugs and socializes. We can't tolerate hatred.
