Peace Color

Peace is white yes,
when we raise her dove,
when we wear it
of fine embroidery...

peace is green
 as hope when
we cultivate a forest
royally preserved...

peace is blue similar to
friendly waves of the sea
that permit us surf in dreams...
As a clear beauty of the sky,
heavenly paradise that we realize exists...

But peace was once scarlet
of our spilled blood
in the portals of wars
that we fight, for what
the quiet colors of peace
could live peacefully... "
