Blue Peace Incantation

Some years ago I saw this on a school noticeboard and was so taken with it I stopped and wrote it down:

Blue Peace Incantation

by Lorna Goodison

Within blue of peace,
The azure of calm
beat soft now bright heart
beat soft, sound calm.
By cobalt of Love deep
indigo of perception
by waters of sky blue
by need's incantation
be measured,
blue measured
in verdant balance
of green.
Heart be rocked calm now
light we have seen.
By meditation of
clear waters,
all strivings cease,
within all,
illuminatory
forever, lasting blue peace.

I hope you enjoyed it too.
