“Peace”
A sacred contract,
to tolerate, allow space-
not for bigotry.

A sacred contract,
to tolerate, allow space-
not for bigotry.
Steve D
Single speck of light,
among thousands in the night,
seeking to connect.
Steve D
Shelter in the dark.
Enveloped, or so it seems,
one candle alight.
Steve D
One thousand bubbles
at the surface, preventing
thoughts from settling.
Steve D
Three generations,
household families become clans,
extended from one.
Steve D
Attempts to be all,
until all becomes white noise,
deafened by silence.
Steve D
Split wood in the hearth,
food- and wine-laden table,
and relaxed laughter.
Steve D
Lone flickering flame,
holding the darkness at bay,
glowing focal point.
Steve D
Tides ebb, the wheel turns,
sand grains wash out and return.
Hold fast the taut line.
Steve D
Flakes of gilded foil
crust undulating black sheets,
yellow moonlit waves.
