A Godly Sun Stepped soundlessly Upon an eastern tide In mantled tendrils Risen from serene repose Bemusing warmth in Waning summer's Cloudless dawning sky A Godly Sun Thence met befraught Entreating lamp of gold Held stalwartly upon The shores of Lady Liberty Lest Freedom's reign be clouded By an ashen flood of steel Upon a dark eleventh mourn A Godly Sun Yet shone on high Above duplistic billow's dark Defilement of Freedom's day Mere underworld intent To undermine our sanctity and thwart the provident Ascension of a Worldly Peace A Godly Sun With opened hands In healing prayer forsooth Enjoined a Great Divide O'er skies American United In our Freedom's song To harmonize Amazing Grace Upon the mourning sky A Godly Sun Spread rays of love To every continent With shining fingers far outstretched To touch each saddened heart with light And lift the shadows of mistrust Embracing all on earth as one Enlightened by a darkened day A Godly Sun Holds mankind's fate Enclenched within in its palm American Stripes proudly wave In worldwide gratitude And dedicate as kindred stars Now Heaven's Angels holding high Their beacons at each shore For One Humanity God Bless Us One And All |

Wonderful write, dear Nan. Your choice of words is amazingly appropriate. It's an embrace for humanity in a moment of deepest sorrow. Love, Margherita |

See what Liz wrote, then you will figure out why I shop instead now.  This should be sent somewhere for more to see Nan. This is a sad day of remembrance. |

Nan, you are one fine poetess and it would be lovely to be able to read more of your poetry! You are such a little tease. You treat us ~ then you retreat! I felt this one in my throat! ~ I was literally getting choked up! Love, Light, & Liberty, Linda  |
