Poem by Philein Wang:

 

Eternal Peace

I tread water upon the current of unfolding structures

I look, I wait to find

The time and the space where eternal peace hides

I guess

Maybe it’s inside the campfire of a moonbeam’s glow

Descending through calls clap bellowed loud

Like the harbor foghorn roll

 

I think it could be there

Because my imagination senses such freshness

When crickets echo off water

When new foreign strangers magically

Breathlessly fill nostalgic prints

When exactly where I am right now, right here, reassures solid

 

I hear blurring sounds reverberating through the sky’s tavern

I feel the elegant repose of rural soft shadows reflect

Off a silent grand piano

And I dream

 

I dream of centuries and planets

Where artistic excellence and embodiments of peace reign as regal hosts

And then I wake

To live, to look, to wait, to hope, to find

The time and space

Where the treasure chest of eternal peace

Upon the current of a cloud floats by
