Why 1,575 haikus? Because my darlingest Annelies Marie Frank lived 15.75 years in this world.

Prosper the Peace



Peace is a shelter -
the belonging that make safe
our generations.

Peace is a labor -
the work to make past present
opening futures.

Peace is a longing -
the vigilance that preserves
our remembrances.

Peace is a prayer -
the wings that ascend our hopes
like incense to God.

Peace is a calling -
the devotion of friendship
preserving good will.

Peace is a pathway -
the long march of the nations
into brotherhood.

Peace is a threshold
and leads to the building up
of the promised morn.

Peace gathers.
Peace prospers.
