This One Work by Kristi Kirby

Peace isn’t giving
Up
Sleep rough
In the forest
Training in
Tenderness
After all this time
Firm voice
From inside
Every small vessel
The renewal
Breaks the cycle of
Violence
Fire and sulfur
Natural to question
Keeping cool
Charming in a
Blush
Petulance
Be eyes of
Dignity
Glistening in the
Darkness
We aren’t alone
Victory is a spirit set
Burning the charcoal
Peace isn’t giving
Up
After all this
Time
Firm voice
From inside
Full alert
Open appraisal
Avengers
Not forgotten
This time
Our hearts beat
Mindful
An academy of
Wholehearted strength
Pure and refined
Confidence in
Steadfast love
Passed on from the
Other side
We can’t look away
Help comes
From this
House of
Peace
This one work
We already know
A powerful sense
Always seeking
The world cannot hate
Shake off the dust
Listen to your
Firm voice
Fall into the
Peace of us
Humanity feel our
Grace
This is the
Way of the future.
