Rise up
a wave of yearning
for an earth that is whole
one family
enough for all
no longer the desire to harm
this is my prayer
Rise UP
The genie in the bottle asks what are your wishes three?
Shall it be gold?
Life everlasting?
A life without danger or loss?
O Genie, first answer me this
Is there enough wealth in this world for us all
To live in plenty and in peace?
Then that shall be my only wish.
Ah! If only. . .

there’s a loud flapping of wings from every direction
and I stand wondering if this sound,
this extraordinary quivering of air and shape and color
had been there all along
while I was lost in useless thought
patterns emerge and dissolve
awareness opens and closes off
colorful orbs merge and dissolve
I want to name them all, set them free for all time
but they are quicksilver and effervescence.
