old soldier
thinking of his mother
and the mothers of those
taken by the war
the grief
the loss
peace comes hard
before the end
knowing the price of war
he caused for others
not feeling his debt
paid in full

they wait alone
old age
a broken cage
peace flew by
long ago
now wondering why
in her final years
elusive peace

they came
lived side by side
learned “the enemy”
was just like them
~ told to hate
kindred souls
seeds of peace sown
my heart yearns
for youthful souls to change
to love one another

heart of stone
formed from hatred
stored within
a gentle soul
stopped and watched
a kind word
a soothing spirit
heart opened just a moment
peace and love entered
heart of stone
grateful with peace
peace crept in

be peace
share peace
give peace
be a magnet for others
a peaceful heart

remembering
navy blue shoes
with steel high heels
walking on concrete sidewalks
hearing the rhythm of my walk
.
small stones prompt: shoes
