Pastel Lanterns of Peace

Amethyst glass lanterns rest in a pond of friendship as neon pink flamingos rest on one leg to contemplate world peace...

Pastel Lanterns of Peace

 

A translucent light from a new star

shines through stained glass portals  

of heavens doors... 

Lanterns of love and devotion

Shells of soft pink

Mother of Pearl

lay in waiting for a touch of diplomacy...

The Persians know the best colors

to blend when choosing a path for peace

 

As we sip our cup of Hibiscus Tea

we choose Windsor green

as artist and designer to touch earth

and

Cerulean blue to reach for the sky...

 

Venetian glass with blues and golds

are more eccentric than the next...

 

We become poets to render our songs

we work together to create a

Masterpiece of love and understanding...

It feels like poetry filling the air as one is sat on a plush Persian carpet and finds poetry being created in the minutiae of day to day living. As lanterns they light our souls and lanterns are functional but also a fruit of craftsmanship as well. As for tea, that brings out the best in me. Thanks Pat. A pleasant visit to the past but the poem brings it closer to today.

dear Freds… it soothes my Soul to have you review a poem that brings Light to a broken World. With all the people from around the World… will there still be Musicians and Artists and Men and Women of Letters. It will be Crowded but hopefully well-orchestrated as things settle into Law and Order. We will still need Lanterns to find our Way. tenderly, Pat

Colour is everything, without it even blood pales into insignificance. Coloured glass glistens at its own pleasure. Consequently, the man or women who colours his or her own wee part of our world with good intent adds a much, much needed new golden star.

What an inspiring poem, thank you.

So lovely and colourful with a serious undertone.
Your use of colours are quite vivid.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Astrid... a mid-winter's dream to
read your review. We are in need of
peace and love. May poetry bring an end
to threats of violence and destruction.
truly... Pat

[Astrid]

I, too, hope for that; for all the unnecessary negativity to cease. It has no purpose other than to make things worse.

We must dear Pat. If we must remind people. Peace can be, if we seek.

[HungryGhost]

Love the flow of this wonderful piece :) Would you care to review mine? Thank you x

[Aethereal]

This is a beautiful poem about how art trumps logic as far as creating mood swings among us that lead to peaceful coexistence. We need such an artful "touch of diplomacy" these days. It seems that the human race has been at war with itself forever. Your poems contain a rainbow of impressive colors that break through the drab gray of the everyday grind of our civilization.

[Tom]

A kalidiscope of peaceful pastrel colours most certainly create the desired effect upon the reader, becalming with deep serenity Patricia, sublime indeed!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Tom... your review has touched a
chord of lovely possibilities. I think of
artists like Monet and Renoir who painted
peace and love with strokes of color
that entice our senses and stir a desire
to preserve beauty and understanding.
truly... Pat
