Flame of Hope

Flame of love
Love for you, and love for me
God's creations
Together now for all to see

Flame of peace
For that which we can achieve
To live in peace
If only man could conceive

Flame of glory
Glory for good that's been done
And the promise too
Of what may be to come

Flame of hope
Hope that we may just survive
Or will it be
That mankind will cry

Eagle* This is beautiful...your poetry has
grown with each new post and each new
feeling that you dive into with your
words...I'm swept by it my friend......it's
truly beautiful beyond my mere words~

The way you've segmented this piece allows the reader to follow your thoughts well. I noticed that there arises a sliver of doubt in the ending stanza ... a question to ponder, perhaps to move the reader. Very nicely written, to my way of thinking.

SpitFire.....I'm pleased to have brought a smile you my friend. Pleased too that you enjoyed this.   As for surviving, well there is always hope!

Butterfly, my dear friend! What would I do without your support and wonderful words of encouragement? Your "mere words" say everthing that needs to be said, and so much more.

Claire.......I like your way of thinking     You know I value your opinion and I thankyou for reading and replying. That "sliver of doubt" seems to follow me around I think.  


Take care one and all!

i think Claire hit on it exactly and the real question lies in what is to be done with the knowledge.  Do we continue to ignore the obvious until it is too late or do we step up and take notice.  Wonderful thoughts you have penned.

Eagle One,
Well some of mankind will cry when they try to compete with your beautiful poem, lovely, lovely.

but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-
