forever in a day
know this day will come and you will
live in peace
be mindful of everything around you
and you will find peace within yourself
there is comfort within the forest of your soul
where trees grow tall and all the animals
on this earth live in harmony
you are the root and the tree and the leaf
the fruit that grows bright and fades
only to return season after season
you are mindful of all things around you
and you protect them when they need protecting
and comfort them when they are lonely
be in love with the morning sun
the noonday sun
and the setting sun
come to know the moon and you will know
yourself better than anyone
and by doing so
will come to understand there is a need
for all things living
there is peace in this day
just as there is peace in all the days that follow
