Beyond the mountains and the stream Beyond the valleys evergreen Where earthly burdens seek reprieve Beyond the land of make-believe It is a place of grace and song Where joy and being all belong Where all the answers sit in wait And where each mortal clears their slate Where nothing waits to harm or grieve Where truth and love we all receive Where light of day and dark of night Just meld together to just right The words we hear are of a friend The comfort felt, not of pretend Within the shrine of mind and soul Where time and test no longer toll Our place of rest, our place of fate That comes before the times too late To give us comfort and true peace A place of every souls release |

 (smiles) And it all comes from believing in it, as peace and the idea of peace, if they can come together, makes the heart light up and if everyone could believe in love without greed, sarcasm, and reluctance, love can reign again between all of the world! (big hugggssssss) I hope this comes true for us all, amen, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Rick, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

garysgirl, I am sure if it was just a nudge, many would be there already, with the past as just a memory. Thanks for the reply and time you give to reply, much appreciated. Kethry, may what I've conjured be part of the real to be, that one and all will see. Thank you for your reply. Sincerely Rick |

Not only did I enjoy the poem itself, but I enjoyed the lyrical reading of the rhyming couplets. Peace & Light, Earth Angel |

i think that is this beautiful. Great rhythm and rhyme schemes, they fit together perfectly. And you give a great glimpse at what has never been revealed to us entirly: the glories of heaven. This definitely deserves a spot in the book, i hope it makes it. Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it. - Robert F |
