the wars were nearly ended -
how thankful
to return
to the thunder of clouds
& rain
& not the thunder of weapons
how thankful to return
to the fields
for melons and corn
& not for battle
how thankful for the children
the running of the streams
the return of the gardens
the birds
the beasts
and the peaceful seas
