Gaea

When you scream about the war-fires raging,
when you cry aloud, “ The world’s in chains”,
I will sing along with sparrows,
I will send a sparkling rain.

Rail about sin and corruption,
I’ll reply with crystal dew.
List the deaths of unborn children-
What can I say? That’s up to you.

Hi, Nan! How goes it? Been missing you--and this poem is an example of why! Great little write that says a great deal! It's so frightenly true!

Keep singing with the sparrows!

Warm hugs,
Linda

Thanks, EA! I've been busy, busy, busy, but now for a few days maybe I can hang around.

I liked the rhyming scheme, Nan.

Am I wrong to believe that there seems to be a philosophical quandry in your words dealing with those who don't believe in death and war, but support abortion, or did I am off-base?

Enjoyed!

Opeth-

To quote Mary Poppins, "Let me make this perfectly clear, I never explain anything." You have to say that with an English accent or it doesn't work. My Texas drawl never quite makes it. I'm glad to hear from you.

Marge, I hope to be able to hang for a few days anyway. I'll try to catch up. You should fill me in on all the gossip, you know. :p

Nan (of the other sort! ), it's good to have some time to spend here.

QjQ, I don't know about great, but thanks!

Ratleader, thanks for replying-I'm glad you got something out of it.
