Picture by Platinus




It’s time to set aside
The greed and dire self-interest
That block us from arriving
At our true potential

It’s time for us to care
For the Earth and ALL its people
To become, again, at one
With Nature and the Light

It’s time for us to take back
The keys to the Kingdom
To fill our halls again
With plain and truly honest folk

Misty...I have a book for you to read, by a friend of a poet/friend of ours here at PiP. It is titled "Nomaris: The Edge of Remembering" by Adrienne Austin.

This picture, this poem, reminded me of it. While I'm not a 'normal' fan of this kind of writing, it was very engaging and I found a new venue to explore.

So, if you can, enjoy it...it is most worthy of being explored!

sp - thank you for your kind words. I don't know that this the the answer to the world's problems but perhaps a few kind words to each other would help!

Alison, thanks so much! I thought the words matched the picture and there are way too many clashes in our beautiful world today.
