Not Everything Is Under Siege Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

Not everything is under siege
In every particular moment
Breathe, even the temporary peace
Inside will quell the sorrows that abide
Believe.
Not everything is under siege
Think of rainbows, clouds gone by
When the moon is riding high
Green leaf, red leaf floating by
Think of moments of repose
Much praised, the glory of the rose
Though petals scatter much abides
For a moment, close your eyes and see:
Not everything is under siege.
