This is a Peace Poem





dwelling in the canyon
of red sand stone
we marked our houses
with characters
befitting our desires 
if we were sad 
we chose happiness 
or a sign for 
deeper sorrow 
wanting to go 
to the bottom 
of the well 
we were the 
red sand people 

our neighbors
were from
blue cloud gulch
they were
a two day walk
from us
we did not
own cars
anymore
there was no fuel
we did not
fight any more
there was
no need

Imagine Peace
