I'm done with great things and big things, great intentions and big success, and I am for those tiny invisible molecular moral forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water. Yet which, if you give them time, will rend the hardest monuments of our pride.
Then Silence
will gather all the words
within itself,
the graves will return
in the ocean of eternity.
And every word
that has been spoken
about peace and love
will be recognized
like a bright light
by that spirit
that has come to rest.
