All tongues
That have spoken in prayer
Are equally beautiful.
All places of worship
All over the Earth
Are beautiful.
All faces
All races
All deeds done
That have shone with love
Shine
And are beautiful.
Harsh world
Do not fall further
Into the abyss
Of hatred and terror. Rather
Flower together
Throughout all creation.
All flowers…
All flowering
Is beautiful.
