Serene Acceptance


Peace is not
the absence of war
or conflict or struggle.

Peace is the serene
acceptance of what is --
whether war, conflict,
struggle, or peace.

    Mannequin Masquerade

    Wrapped in cellophane,
    Toes aquiver, ballet leaps
    Out of frothy tutus
    Into the race of gazelles
    Across African tundra.

    (Silly me. Thought of a revision to the first tanka attempt I posted; this is the revision.)

    Pour oil
    on sandpaper,
    honey over velvet.
    Love again, anyway. Nothing
    resists.

    (Also, I decided on a cinquain again instead of a tanka.)
    ;)
