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

[MsJewel]

Love and understanding - what we all wish for and need. Your poem is a bright light of love and beauty Pat - rich with gorgeous images.

But the thing I like the most is the wonderful feeling I'm left with after reading your words. You have a special gift dear friend. Thank you for sharing it.

100/100 lanterns of love
Hugs and love,

dear Julie... a translucent light from a new star
Will touch the pens of poets everywhere... Is my
prayer. Julie... your words illuminate the
Lanterns of peace in a gentle and caring
song of love and beauty.
We have tossed the pebble to
ripple out. Love... Pat

Well, you have written the masterpiece for love and understanding. The great formula to solve ignorance, hate, wars and so forth. May your light keeps shining in the world's darkened days...:).............

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami... your review placed a halo
over my aspiration for today's poets to
paint words in colors of love and
understanding. We have but one earth
that we can touch and plant seeds of
a universal garden where forgiveness
can cultivate generosity where our
planet can blossom and intertwine
with the arts. Amen Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. So true. You are welcome...:)...............

[Frieda P]

I adore how you've colored your peaceful renditions here Pat, the imagery is lovely, and I'm in love with that last stanza. Love and understanding, that's what it's all about, a stunning read.

[Patricia Wedel]

Frieda... your tender touch has given
a glow to amethyst love and
understanding. May the gold and
silver of pens resonate into poetry
where love and passion persuade
a universe of beauty and peace.
Amen... Pat

[Frieda P]

That's so lovely Pat, a poem in itself, my pleasure.

[Lydia Shutter]

Love and understanding.....a multicolored tapestry....a melange of light and love. Pat, your words are lacy soft and filled with gorgeous color. Celestial beauty mingled with the greens of nature and poetry. What more could a poet ask for? Always a pleasure to read your art. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

Lydi... I feel so strongly that
poetry and art is needed now...
more than ever... to bring our
world together. Your pen always
Illuminates the heavens with
words of exquisite elegance and
earthly gems of diplomacy.
May peace and love abide. Amen...

[Patricia Wedel]

Or is it more correct to say... Poetry and art are more needed now ?

[Lydia Shutter]

Poetry and art ARE needed....yes, that is the right way to say it....and you are absolutely correct, my friend. Lydi**
