Peace
 

I have a special private place
where I sometimes like to go,
a spot with quiet beauty,
where fragrant breezes blow.

A place where I can go and watch
the doorway in the sky,
gaze at the stars and gather my thoughts,
while the moonlight makes me high.

It was a clear and starlit night,
the moon brightly shone.
I could hear the distant city
but here I was alone.

The door slowly opened with
a tiny spot of light.
I watched in wonder as it lit
the darkness of the night.

The gleam got ever brighter
whatever could this be?
I watched a beam of radiance descend
to the surface of the sea.

Suddenly she appeared there
in a phosphorescent gown,
on the surface of the ocean,
as if standing on the ground.

Looking at me she could read
the questions in my head,
She raised her arms in a radiant glow,
in a gentle voice she said,

"I am The White Buffalo Woman
and The Virgin Mary, too.
I'm the spirit of Mother Theresa
and we have this message for you."

"The White Buffalo Calf has been born
and now that she is here,
World peace is no longer just a wish,
the time is drawing near."

"Two thousand years of world peace
is what the legends say,
Wars will end, the fighting will stop
beginning on this very day."

"The Spirits will calm the mighty winds
the seas will no longer rage,
No floods and storms will there be
in this new and exciting age."

"The colors of humanity
will learn to get along.
Red, yellow, black and white
will see where they've been wrong.

"We speak to every mother that's heard
a starving baby cry,
And tried to breathe some life into it
as she sat and watched it die."

"The rich will give their lucre back
to the people from where it came.
Amassing blood soaked fortunes
will no longer be their game."

"The money will feed every child in the world,
they will have plenty to eat,
warm clothing for every body
and shoes for all their feet."

"Babies will be born without a flaw
as perfect as can be.
Retarded there will be no more
and no insanity."

"Disease and drugs and alcohol
will be only a memory.
Everyone on the earth will have a home
just like you and me."

"The evil will be banished,
their rein of terror will end.
The Great Spirit gives them little time,
for they can make amend."

"I must go now," then She said
"What I want you to do,
Is take this message to the world,
this chore I give to you!"

"How can I do that!", I exclaimed,
"For that's an impossible plight."
She raised her hand to comfort me
as she melted into the night.

The clock then jingled in my ear
as her image faded away,
I then woke up and had to face
an ordinary day!
