Poetry Friday: A Poem for Peace

poetryfriday

Head over to Amy at The Poem Farm for more poetry today.  Thanks, Amy.

September 21 was International Peace Day.  So in honor of yesterday and wow, do we ever need it, a poem for peace.

we
wish
for peace
while walking
and collecting rocks
for skipping into the ocean
with cormorants watching nearby
their ebony wings flapping,
cheering us
hoping
for
peace
