Like walls that crumble in the stillness night I fall to my knees, screaming out to the dark and empty skies as tears fall from my eyes. My heart weeps for the child who does not know that love is more than just four letters and a word that is seldom ever heard. I feel the twinge and twitch of my heart beating as I remember the soldier who stands guard on the wall so that his hopes; our hopes and dreams won't fall. My spirit is burdened knowing that somewhere a mother lies praying for faith to remain within her sight~ to know where her child is tonight. Tilting my head to the darkened skies I ask these questions of how, and why. Void of the spirit of the season my soul doesn't quite comprehend all of the reasons for this bouleversement of life where is harbored such strong need to luxate all of these atrocities; until we bring again unto this world humility.. Soon, very soon, it will be Christmas day so tonight, I fall on my knees to pray "tonight, oh Creator I would only ask this of thee.. please.....bless the world with precious love and peace"...... {holiday ramble, rewritten, and dedicated this year, to those who give their all, so that we might be safe....} 12-10-05} Come read to me some poem, Some simple and heartfelt lay, That shall soothe this restless feeling And banish the thoughts of day. Longfellow seek the flame within yourself and let your soul be cleansed by the fire of love. Axel Ekenstierna [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (12-10-2005 05:58 PM).] |

(angel comfort hugs) Oh Donna, I share these sentiments your golden heart feels ever soooooooo much, sweet friend, I plainly find it ridiculous that we still have many children in the world, even here in the US, who don't have guidance, shelters, food stamps, health care, anything of that sort, and this hypocrisy is just astounding to me on all levels in that one of the central ethics of Christmas and the holiday season is giving and sharing, and especially with the children being the future, their future is literally being robbed of them and that is the ultimate tragedy and heartache of this time of year! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are a true, compassionate, loving voice of conscience, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |
