Resonating with the chords of life, thoughts immersed in another dimension of space-time, I am transported to a place holier than the Mount, where I see vibrant olive trees ablaze in a golden maze of Peace, hear cascading harmonies in the waterfall of diversity, endlessly pooling into a bass line echoing the pulse of love. Would that music could change the world. 'Imagine' joyful sounds of peace encircling the globe, replacing the cacophony of war. |

a most fine ‘penning!’… I am especially fond of all the imagery in: “Resonating with the chords of life, thoughts immersed in another dimension of space-time… cascading harmonies in the waterfall of diversity… echoing the pulse of love… Would that music could change the world… joyful sounds of peace encircling the globe, replacing the cacophony of war.” Applause for this ‘write!’ |

Kacy, this resonates deeply... from top to bottom, and vice-versa. |

Hi Kacy! In a class I took once while I was learning how to teach, I read this..."music hath charms to sooth the savage beast". It's true...at least with children. A very thoughtfilled poem. 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 |

This write is especially timely with the visit of US musicians to North Korea. Music, as many arts, is an international language of peace. Midnitesun, this is beautifully and thoughtfully written, with the perfect message. One could say it hits a high note! |

MS, as well as sharing the same initials as the author of 'imagine' I also share the same ideals, to quote ( & add to) a line from another toon... Heaven is a place on earth I now know this to be true For I have found the portal Hidden within these pages blue... |

Midnitesun, I found this to be excellent in so many ways. It's a beautiful, and hopeful thought, and it's also very well written. I'm not a person that is easily touched, but this one got too me. Why do people call you "Kasy". I remember a Kasy from my old Internet poetry days. Is that you Hon? Bobby |
