TANKA
latent in us all
the need to bestow a gift
of a love for life
we… heartfelt in song… praise it
endorse it… lets enact it
~~~~~
lets live together
a gift we hold… an empty box
please read the label…
for emergencies only
tis time… open… set peace free
~~~
the song of love
once silent… heartfelt passion
now sing loud… a gift
to the world of love… and peace
