Can we project peace
out into the world
like ripples on the waters
changing the path
of all of creation;
spreading love instead?
Can peace accumulate,
a rising tide, surging
building, growing, projected;
expanding, flowing, changing
the path of all of creation
sending ripples out into the world?
If we can project peace
within our homes, our hearts
calming our path;
We can change our lives
putting oil on the waters
calming the seas.
