Blossoms of Peace

By: Yolene Pancarte

Watch them...

The pink magnolia blossoms,

They’re so innocent

Yet we treat them without regards.

Watch us...

Our inner turmoil shaking us,

Like the wind does the magnolia blossom

Uncaring and inevitable.

 

Watch the world...

Its surface a busy playground,

We are children,

And, like the magnolia blossoms, we grow.

Watch the tree...

Who bends under the blossoms weight,

The world bends under our weight

How long before the branch breaks?

 

Watch the flowers...

They never take more than their share

We take the rest

Never caring about the consequences.

Watch...

And wait

Maybe someday

There will be blossoms of Peace.
