Co-Exist, Neither of Us Fear the Knife

Co-Exist, Neither Of Us Fear The Knife I saw the crescent moon in dappling sky Gentle wind danced about and moaned Earth spoke quite clear and told the crescent moon Let all liars that lie now be stoned Does not the wizen owl straight on home fly? I saw the vast crowd of bright twinkling stars They danced to tease the dark looming night I ran with fast wolves, our hearts beat as one We watch the Heavens and saw all was right And fought not to create vicious scars! I saw life ebb and truth sat there quite clear Nobody cowered, nobody fears. Heart and spirit seeks wisdom and true life Co-exist, neither of us fear the knife! Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet Feb. 12th 1972 Note: Inner Peace Quotes: “Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.” —Saint Francis de Sales “The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type of existence.” —Norman Vincent Peale “Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.” —Dalai Lama
