Let me Be Peace
“Preach the Gospel
at all times.
Use words if necessary.”
~~~Francis of Assisi
Let me Be Peace
(Journal Entry on the Camino St Francis/Sept. 2019)
In the heart
of a city,
lived a man whose song
plays on…
His journey was like an instrument
—One day a flute
—One day a guitar…
and then a drum.
Birds rested on his shoulders,
and a story told how he
tamed a wolf.
Tell me why, Brother Francis,
you had to go~~~
although, I know.
One day
each of us will pass from ‘this’
place we know.
I pray, Gentle Francis,
the traces we leave behind
be an imitation of yours.
Peace, I hope to leave
for NOW,
is what I hope to be.
Let me be Peace…
In the silence of my being,
let there be Peace.
