Shanti of Eugene, Oregon
This open forum opened my eyes
People reviewed poetic looks and listened
The cooks took turns administering pies
To settle the hunger for peace, our egos glistened
Then our hearts throbbed with courage
The zen situation a moment of joy
The combination of currents
And the river water of love to a girl and boy
There was names of kind herbs
Exchanged with mankind
The harmony shifted our filters
As we all did rewind
Into a time of tenderness
Looking glass rhythms
Where all of our thoughts
Became one with the prism
The visions for peace
then depicted through art
Belayed how we needed
Our cities garden to start
Promoting the gift of a
Beanstalk to Mars
So children of amnesty
May reach for the stars
Peace and well-being
~Shanti
