Peace between the Sexes
Men and women, women and men.
So much like icebergs floating on the sea.
So little of ourselves does the other perceive.
So much remains hidden below in the depths of the waves.
And waves there are.
Waves between us, and waves around us.
Waves that make us dizzy,
Waves that challenge our boundaries and frontiers.
But waves are on the surface and currents are far below.
We spend our time looking at the waves,
But it is the currents that direct us.
The currents, which swirl around our hidden selves.
When will we look into the depths?
When will see beyond the refection of the sea,
And embrace the wholeness of who we are
And the wholeness of ourselves?
When will we see what we have been missing?
When will we be a peace with each other?
When each esteems the other in their wholeness,
We both more truthfully find ourselves.
Peace and harmony between the sexes.
Love and respect amidst the waves of the sea.
The waves crash upon our visible frontiers,
As we collide driven by the currents of the sea.
Peace and harmony between the sexes.
Peace with ourselves with who we are.
Peace on earth.
