NOT EVERYTHING IS UNDER SIEGE

 

 

NOT EVERYTHING IS UNDER SIEGE

Not everything is under siege

In every particular moment

Breathe, even the temporary peace

Inside will quell the sorrows that abide

Believe.

Not everything is under siege

Think of rainbows, clouds gone by

When the moon is riding high

Green leaf, red leaf floating by

Think of moments of repose

Much praised, the glory of the rose

Though petals scatter much abides

For a moment, close your eyes and see:

Not everything is under siege.
