She wanted just
A slice of peace.
A piece of what she’d seen
Available
To others
And advertised as
Something one could
Reach.
She wanted just a taste
Of what it could be like
To know
Release.
Meanwhile she knew
She had to make do
With
Internal
Armistice.

When the last class
Let’s out
A world away
In monk school,
Or New York City’s
Next block,
Teachers
And play-ready
Children
Heft their bags
Smile to match.

What did she want in that bottle?
What did the store owner allow?
Did her friend understand why it mattered
And how?
Did her own yellow sandals
That fit only sort of
Used to hang in the window
In a bag from above?
What words did they exchange?
Did the girl smile or sigh?
I look at this photo and wonder
What she had asked to buy.

It may not be the best planning
(Though extra points for depiction geared
For universal understanding …)
To include such giggle-making signing
Right where many are aligning
With legs already crossed in short queue pining …

Find the string of life
That thrums within you
And play your music –
Bold or timid
Loud or soft,
It is unlike any other
Ever heard
Yet
As eternal
And familiar
As the beat that drums
Inside all living
Chests.
For The Daily Post
Life is fragile.
Treat it with care.
Life is wonder.
Find it everywhere.
Life is hope.
Do not forget.
Life is temporary.
Universal.
Precious.
Protect it from hate.
Some communications
need no words.
