Unified

How do you define the abstract?

Peace.

Such a monumental word!
So much contained
within five letters.
An endless goal
for countries and self.
Is it quiet?
Is it stillness?
Is it a stoic mind?

Peace.

What image is in your mind?

Sitting on the sand
as the waves come and go.
A stray seagull flying by.
The great yolk
falling into the sea.

Wars have been waged for peace.
Almost all ended unsuccessfully.

Are you a bodhisattva?
Are you a Saint?
Are you an enlightened atheist?

Can I tell you a secret?

There is no division between us.
There never has been.
