Like walls that crumble in the stillness of night I fall to my knees, screaming out to the dark and empty skies as tears fall from my eyes. My heart weeps for the child who does not know that love is more than just four letters and a word that is seldom ever heard. I feel the twinge and twitch of my heart beating as I remember the soldier who stands guard on the wall so that his hopes; our hopes and dreams won't fall. My spirit is burdened knowing that somewhere a mother lies praying for faith to remain within her sight~ to know where her child is tonight. Tilting my head to the darkened skies I ask these questions of how, and why. Void of the spirit of turning seasons my soul doesn't quite comprehend all of the reasons for this bouleversement of life where is harbored such strong need to luxate all of these atrocities; until we bring again unto this world humility.. Soon, very soon, it will be another day so tonight, I fall on my knees to pray "tonight, oh Creator I would only ask this of thee.. please.....bless the world with precious love and peace"...... {revised 03-11-08} |

Oh you of the gentle heart, I knew there was a reason to stumble back to these pages. You do have a gentle and loving spirit. Know that I think of you - and am always here for you -- and yes, I would love to do what you suggested. I don't think that your muse is far away from you. I think you just have to open your mind for its return. But what do I know? I know I care. xoxoxo A |

Gentle Spirit, This is very nice. It’s always good to learn new (to me) words such as “bouleversement” and “luxate”. This one made me think of my own mother, and how many sleepless night I gave her. She was always there, and I was really all she had. Bobby |

The world just needs more people like you, Donna. Unfortunately, the souls of earth do not seem to be evolving at the same level of thought. Ida |

quote: Dear Donna, I feel your beautiful sensitive heart and soul touching me and I agree with the message you so gently convey. Respect for Creation and human beings is the first step we all must exercise again and again to be able to change ourselves and the world to the benefit of all. Wonderful poem/prayer. Love and hugs.

"Void of the spirit of turning seasons my soul doesn't quite comprehend all of the reasons for this bouleversement of life where is harbored such strong need to luxate all of these atrocities; until we bring again unto this world humility.." No one has ever said it better, Donna. It is always comforting to know your gentleness is rock-solid. |
