the bullet-gray sky had turned blue
The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace.

I woke from a nap
the bullet-gray sky had turned blue
and pulled at my hair
walking on the earth
was like being born again and then I was born again
__________
a winter wind
harsh and bitter
bites my face
and above me
the starlight reaches
from the milky way to california
__________
the violent
the cruel
and the ignorant
call out for war with iran
they are caught up in their samsara
like a fallen leaf caught in a whirlpool
a gray and cold morning in may
more like winter than spring
and I am sipping coffee
thinking of peace
and saying a prayer
for those who seek war
James Lee Jobe
Silently
time passes.
The only life I have
submits to its power.
