Embodying This Moment of Peace
Satellite Dispatch is proud to publish this poem from Filipino activist and
friend, Lea L. Espallardo <proc-lea@phil.gn.apc.org>.
This moment is peace. In a night that's been quiet and warm.
I am peace.
I thank the gods for the opportunity of being able to see the truth
and speak of it. For courage. For friends. For different voices
that speaks of healings and celebrations. For movements that speaks
of freedom and liberation. For hymns and lullabies that bring touches
to our inner soul.
This moment is peace. In a night that's been violent for other
children in their own homes .... this moment is peace .... in a night
that has always been friendly to the women of the streets .... I am glad,
this moment is peace. I am peace.
This moment of peace, I would like to share to you and to my mother
who right now sleeps in peace .... happy for her child she used to
cuddle and kiss.
This moment is peace .... I am peace. |
