~It should be so easy~ to pluck a pure melody from a bold cobalt sky, lay it down gently on baby’s breath blue, pin sparkling stars upon a blank page in pure passion-poetic hue, color the world in truths not lies, painted passionately brushed with Love’s dew. ~It should be so easy~ to join hands, dance in delight, ‘round the sacred fire of Life, let go of all hatred and strife, hold onto dreams of Diversity, to be part of the rainbow of friendship's light. ~It should be so easy~ |

I am particularly fond of: “color the world in truths not lies, painted passionately brushed with Love’s dew.” AND: ”…join hands, dance in delight, ‘round the sacred fire of Life, let go of all hatred and strife, hold onto dreams of Diversity(’s) …rainbow(!)” ~It should be so easy~ : It is (apparently) instead, the hardest thing of all!.... There seems to be some deeply primitive and dangerous, innate tendency in the human psyche to focus negatively on ‘differences’(rather than to naturally ‘celebrate’ diversity) in race, religion, nationality; etc….This tendency has always been the root cause of the atrocities (small- and large-scale) that have plagued all of human history… If we could just turn our minds, hearts, and spirits toward the stars (to that grand-scintillating cosmos of ‘infinite potentialities’)…all human ‘differences’ would pale (and fade) against that ‘universalist’ backdrop and paradigm! grand and sustained applause for this fine ‘write’! ~ |

It should be, if people would put away their fears and doom and gloom attitudes we hear and see day in and day out to make us worry about what may happen instead of what is. M |

Bruce, it's true, history is filled with atrocities and examples of how humans disregard one another. It is difficult to do, but I must keep my eyes focused on the positive and altruistic. Yes, Maureen. Thanks for reading. |

Midnitesun, true words, beautifully expressed. Can't add anything to the fine thoughts of others except my appreciation. [This message has been edited by ArtSolstice (08-10-2007 08:50 PM).] |

Wonderful write and good message (melody). I guess the human race always complicates something that "should be so easy". Hmm? Are we made stupid? |

A gift for you... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX4dwE8wm44 (the words are equally lovely) "Time it was and what a time it was it was a time of innocence a time of confidences... Long ago it must be I have a photograph-- preserve your memory they're all that's left you...." I told an old lover once that was the perfect song--and just like your poem, it is a simple and pure melody, plucked. Your poem struck chords, sistah Kacy! *hugs* |
