for Peace

So frightend am I
  in this 'oh so familiar' moment
  of endeavoring to find a source of sustenance,
  material sustenance that is.

And while spirit calls out to me
  not to send forth the negative energy
  into the future or the world,
  I can not help but think...
  there are so many who have these feelings.

By expressing them,
  perhaps I can affirm others,
  honor their fears and insecurities,
  and together pray for peace.

Perhaps, we can pray together,
  in our own language,
  to the spirits that guide our lives,
  in the spaces we find as sacred,
  in the way that fulfills our hearts,

but together,
  as one,
  for peace.
