peace
enters
another
child's
ear
through long-winding roads
once the path worn round
the old broken elm
and standing there
contemplating the lapsed sturdiness
of it all
you became the roaming spider and
the hungry locust
the tall valiant grass and
the happy cattail
and every mirrored child
knew his way
from home to there
and back again

I love the idea of peace entering another child's ear--a nice vision to spread.
Such comfort in this poem. Like the beauty of coming home again after being gone for so long.
As usual, I remain your HUGEST fan! :)
