winds of whispers
storms of sighs
hearts filled with teardrops
raining goodbyes

If I were more than I am, I'd see things differently instead of the same all the time.

I am not biblical in most senses of the word, but this statement in Isaiah says what I believe..

Many other statements in the old testement speak of this process in reverse?

Isaiah 2:4
He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.

I thought of this, when I read your poem, DOV..which is a very good read, and says much more than is on its surface.

Thank you

Intensely poignant, dear Stacy Lynn.
