let them ring!

open mind,open eyes,open ears,open art

open to new possibilities of betterment
no need for expanding frontiers/colonialism of ideas
when we can sit in circles and discuss
with equality for all and each
she proposes we walk together for peace
he agrees,suggests we gather in assemblies
sing harmonically,listen each to each
for ideas of change require that we change as well
so we deeply listen to your wisdom ,as you tell
of examples where every person speaks
as in those Quaker gatherings,and a "talking stick"
so equality is given each to each
and peace is simply the respect with which we treat
each other ,air,earth,wood and water
Art simply the steps we take to explain ourselves to each other
Music merely the harmonies implicit in our individual lifestyles
Architecture abandons square cages and follows rivers
in bending ellipses,circles,spirals
We watch,wait,observe ,absorb,integrate-
what happens next depends upon your  bravery
For change can only happen by consent
and dreams are simply scripts
until action is taken/to birth them...
