Poetry / Peace

Of All Those Things

Those things that happen
Which we do not understand
Those things that blind us
And that taste so bitter

Those things that are the acts
Of a lifelong play with feelings
A play with God rolling dice
A life cycling through bad and worse
And bad and good

Of all those things
Which seem so random
Of which neither we
Nor they
Nor you
Nor I
Extend control of

Of all those things
One thing we seek
Just one
One great thing
Peace.
