Peace so bright: A wish for every year to come

Graphic by Bruna Costa

Peace is so bright

One cannot see it

No photo, handprint, or digital mark to prove its existence

Cannot tell

Most times one does know it is there, and coming around here 

Peace has no pre-fab pattern on the clock

Living within it has no space 

The feeling is invisible until broken, cracked, chipped, splattered into oblivion

Gone, no more, evaporated, never there 

No proof, no evidence

Miss it when it is not present

Keep the peace like sunlight bright

Always idealistic peace assumed

The permanence of peace is the elimination of what causes no peace

End poverty, racism, geographic trade manipulations  

End those wars of minds, pockets, and money and

Then the sun will shine brightly.

The terms poverty, homelessness, displaced refugees, immigrants, and national conflicts will not exist

Impossible? I think not

We just need to start with human rights, understanding, of course

Every person, country, and community has unique to them “human rights”

Let the sunlight bright twirl the world humanely
