SLAP ME!
Please,
for I must have been
sleeping too soundly,
and somehow missed...

The Announcement
that
the World is
at PEACE?

Slap me awake,
please,
for I have been waiting
all my life
to hear
The Announcement.

A dream of dreams ....
are you certain a slap would be enough to reveal such? Sounds of a deep sleep to me.

Hope and Faith.

No timidity in war, as
Prisoner awaits release
Though all shall have ears
not all can hear Peace


you say, so succintly, KC,
what our upspoken desires wish for!

Unfortunately, I think it’ll be awhile before this announcement’s out…think I’ll go back to sleep and wait for it!!

Kacy,
Nothing like a little violence to make you aware of PEACE. What were you thinking?

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Like your poem,but the cynic in me thinks you've more chance of hearing that announcment in your dreams than awake.Here's hoping someday we do...Peace

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

Good morning Ray. You aren't cynical, just more in tune with reality maybe. Here's a big peaceful hug.  

Sharon? What a cute picture! I was barely awake until I saw that shirt! It shouts!

I don't think that I have ever known the world to be at peace in my whole lifetime, Kacy...
Wouldn't it be so nice?

(big hugggssssss) Oh Kacy, I know this feeling ever so well, I only wish this was not a dream either as this is the announcement I desire with all my heart! (sigh) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
