I want the moon to coat
a natural skin onto the earth –
saturate the ground with peace.
I want the moon to cast
peacefulness . . .
covering the world –
covering you,
covering me with clear
shadows of ourselves.
Moonlight covered by smoke –
volcanoes, storms at sea,
ash – lumber burns to
remove nature, war’s kill.
A cast of peacefulness over
your home, into your heart –
deep inside each breath
you take – take it in deep
A cast of moonlight
should curl like a lily over fresh
waters and friendly shores,
a cast – endless – a
wave of peacefulness.
