PEACE

Out of wood and stone
he carves his vision of peace:
night's secret visage


Hidden
in the heart of spring
cries for peace


Unruffled
by passions and clamours--
Buddha's calm


Her heart
a thousand doors of
oneness


Drunken with force
spreading the century's sore:
nine eleven


Splendid with the moon
night in silver peace dreams
thousand folds of light
