The Lambs of Peace Like velvet caulking foolhardy years hope for seamless days Some eat of wild berries hid in befallen shadows Some eat of sable-trimmed fruit protected by scarecrows Entranced, eyes of tomorrow seek peace's breath of finality An unsupressed coughing hack fails to be hushed by the shroud rag promises of politicos with one poised finger over a trigger and a foot in twilight grave beds Patience, stooped and weary, shall have no more of it! when broken wills repair as a universal voice Shouting for the cannons of righteousness to thunder Shouting for the lambs with fiery souls who bleat for Peace Poet's note: in these uncertain days of prewar, let's hope cooler heads prevail and take the necessary moments to contemplate the necessity of taking lives. |

It does often seem the voice of peace is gentle and soft and not heard over the incredible noise of war. A nice piece Jeff, with a valuable message worth heeding. |

 (big hugggssssss) Sadly it sees that those who always take the podium are comprised of lions and hyenas and vultures who treat their debators like carrions and the lambs are always sacrificed in all this prejudice and arguentation! (sad sigh) I'm counting on a miracle to change this system and allow the lambs to take the stand and work to develop a rejuvenated sense of harmony! (sigh) This is powerful thoughts, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jeff, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

Amen to Lambs of Peace. Well done. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Jeff You have an incredible way of tapping on the shoulder of meaning...with words...you have much power, perhaps power for peace. I hope so. Children listen to a whisper when a shout can't be heard. |

Fellow followers of peace: i am tickled that you all saw the meaning in this poetic headache poem. It bothers me so, to see people so anxious to rush into conflicts that always seem to have convaluted twists in the endgame. Things like this never work out as planned, and often just opens scarred wounds that shall never heal. Thank you for caring, thank you for the accolades (which i don't deserve), but mainly, thank you for doing your part in spreading the message of Peace. jeff |

Jeff darling heart and painter of wisdom’s beauty once more your writing is simply stunning. Your ability to speak with powerful persuasion with words dipped in poet’s translucent thought is so beautifully displayed here. Always you uncover the thought, and shading it in the perfect hue you frame it and then hang it high for us all to see. In the who of you I see Wisdom that reflects what will be In life’s knowledge you’ve walked far And you know all of what you are Looking in the soul of this I’m reading the intended kiss The touch of truth that fills me With your hope and your poetry On your journey into sighs Lift my soul into your dream’s skies Let me listen to your soul Learn what it is that made you whole Touch the thought as it forms there Believe in trust and learn to share Truly superb writing, you know that your writing fills me with awe, always your writing is awesome, and this is utterly utterly perfect. I’ve been really busy the last few weeks but I try to pop in here to visit you, you are always worth the effort. This plea for peace is one of your utter best and I applaud you for it, I love it utterly  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Fiery lambs who bleat peace, what a fabulous image Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Touching, SR. And I believe that we (a collective and universal we) must attain tolerance before peace can occur. When you think you have heard it all, |
