Kiss of Peace

Filled with moonlight,
I stand by the sea.
Under shining stars
the night’s dark embrace
leaves the kiss of peace
on my grizzled cheek.
I scratch thanks
on the morning tablet
to cheer my footsteps
as I wander the miracle
of life on earth.

    Don, you’re an artistically articulate peacemaker whose sublime “scratchings” cheer my footsteps in ways I respect and protect as a kiss of Peace from the Father. Thank You for You!
