Calmness

Tire of the angry world.

Calmness

 

 

 

Quiet world,

safe world.

People talking,

solving problems.

Peace maker voices,

being heard.

My wishes to the midnight moon.

I want my world to know,

every life had purpose and is needed.

We need to lead with concern, kindness

and listen to each other.

Love is the answer.

A raised fist,

fixes nothing.

I guess you're right. But Plath kept buttons in her pockets, little voices of resonance and that was her way of "solving something". Sometimes a clinched fist means that there's some oxygen missing and all the other contrivances of breath, however more reasonable , wont do. But this is poetry and 150 years ago only the wealthy was allowed to write it. And when they wrote it, they wrote it for an aristocracy who could dismiss the dissonance of love or compassion, hurt and victory and call it's worth expedient or resourceful. Until Whitman of course, which itself was protest poetry. My wish, my friend is like yours. That every life is needed and has purpose. And yet for every life, the same midnight moon rises.......great poem....dana

The wisdom of the earth spoken to a broken world...
Only love can overcome fire and destruction...
A battle between good and evil... to compromise and
form a Union of accepting the Will of the people...
A Country formed with a Constitution to be kept as it
has proven to be worth it's weight in gold... Amen.. gently, Pat

Oh so very true, our country has to become a place of peace. Not being at war within itself. So sad what is happening in different states around the country.Especially Portland Ore, where I grew up ;-

my goodness it's so hot in August rolling the window down on your car is the equivalent of sticking your head in a furnace, I needed to go to the bank early last week and my car's thermostat read 117 degrees Fahrenheit...I felt like i climbed into a pressure cooker
