When I touch the fragile earth
and feel the dirt in my hands,
and when I hug my family tender
and look up to an open lucid sky,
it is here that peace is crafted.

No wish for something hidden beyond
and for the promises of crazy gods,
for these are the sources of division
that lead to conflict and suffering
and falsity dressed in a lamb’s clothing.

Truth is being together as part of this
evolving planet and breathing the
air and tilling the ground and finding
connection in our common plight as
self-aware creatures among creatures.
