I wish for this world to be gentle

To flow without force or fight.

I wish for this world to be gentle

Floating like a water lily at night.

Water lilies don’t erupt with anger

Nor do they seek to cause harm.

Water lilies dance with the wind

Welcoming aquatic neighbors with charm.

 

I wish for this world to be gentle

To grow from the muddy earth.

I wish for this world to be gentle

Growing petals of lovely worth.

Water lilies rest easy against turmoil

They don’t rush to condemn.

Water lilies grow at their own pace

Looking to others and not judging them.

 

I wish for this world to be gentle

To stop killing, fighting, destroying.

I wish for this world to be gentle

Valuing, loving, enjoying.

I wish for this world to be gentle.

Truly gentle.

Maybe if we saw our reflection in the water…
