“In a rich moonlit garden, flowers open beneath the eyes of entire nations terrified to acknowledge the simplicity of the beauty of peace.”

“Where humanitysowed faith, hope, and unity, joy’s garden blossomed.”

“A poet is a verb that blossoms light in gardens of dawn, or sometimes midnight.”

“Beneath the armor of skin/and/bone/and/mindmost of our colors are amazingly the same.”

“Souls reconstructed with faith transform agony into peace.”

“The same hot lightning that burns your blood with passion–– cools your fears with peace.”

“A world without poetry and art would be too much like one without birds or flowers: bearable but a lot less enjoyable.”
