   Hymn of Grace


It frightens me

the flow

the go of it in red

wet dirt


Stop

Too fast the hate

can’t wait to take

I see a fist rising from the nest

where babies are blessed


How many quiet voices

know how to sing


If music could bring

Peace  

     Peace

the song to world       a hymn of grace

Martie - your words say volumes - my hope is that people thinking these words will get through to our country's leadership and they would think with grace and love and peace and not egos, hatred, getting even, etc.  Let's all raise our voices in hymn's of peace and grace - Paul

Martie,
Excellent.
The fist waiting to kill
or caress?

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Martie, I wish with all my heart we can speak more like the innocent children we all were and with that love establish a true harmony for everyone, this is so very true and my heart prays for this relief to come! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderfully heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Dark Star

on each bright face
of every star
is a dark side
that knows not
the Lambs of Peace
and the Hymns of Grace

I am flattered, honored,
and in awe of your power words, today Martie!

I like the thoughts and the flow, but I get confused on the lines including the second "Peace" and remaining. Could you help me? I know I'm the only one, by the other comments.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
