Notes About The Poem

Seeking Safety

A mirror of things he'll never share.
Shapeless shadows.
A wandering thunderstorm
This emptiness can pass.
Despite his affluent life, he fasts.
He is safe but helpless.
He becomes nothing again.
Grace means gracious acceptance.

If only I could have my way.
Normally, I would have slipped away.
Our Milky Way galaxy
Take me away from this planet.
where I may seek a park for our children.
Where the sun of peace beams every day
No weapons to start a battle or fray.
A simple space for love to multiply.
