Peace Pilgrim

Peace Pilgrim

In gratitude for this moment.

This day makes no sense
to those busy earning,
busy climbing mountains
inside of their minds.

I too forget
how near the stars are
and how the sun and moon
would make me no happier
if I was somehow on them.

Each dawn breaks
in an uncertain light,
yet with the certain presence
of a Cosmic God.

And every particle dancing
within our collective conscience
understands the inherent peace
within this present moment,
whether it be
before, during, after
the storm.

---

No one can find inner peace except by working,
not in a self- centered way,
but for the whole human family.
