Axis Becalmed

Issue:
On Heritage (July 2016)
Department:
Inward Light
And what is history but
Stones by boys on fathers’ 
Ponds, beyond the lily pads
Where sit the frogs of conscious
Evolution . . .

So wars evolve of themselves!
While fathers get lost in their
Competition, vengeance and 
Fictional futures of old 
Realities . . . 

Father God, for your sake, Please!
Awaken Sophia’s Heart’s
Beingness . . . within the hearts
Of men . . . that their egos might
Know Peace not war . . .

Dedicated to Laurie Seymour, who has spurred my creativity, February 3, 2016.
