When Earth becomes a Bed of Roses

The soft raindrops have brought an early Spring...

The day before Easter, the flowers danced where violets and roses slept... 

and Robins kept their presence as Hyacinth and Hydrangea wept for the 

lost Souls in faraway Ukraine who passed beyond the early dawn.   

We will gather the Rose Buds left on Earth like Children on the Cusp of 

a New World where Love will conquer all Fears and Tears will persuade 

the Birds and Bees to pollinate all the Fruit that grows on trees for all 

Humanity... near and far to the Corners of the World.  A Blessed Easter 

where We are One World in a Chorus of Chopin and the Rising Sun ... 

Forever, Amen

Beautiful words and the Robin...
Mum said she'd come back as a Robin after she passed just to make sure I was behaving, even though I was 58 at the time. The first Robin seen after her death brought unexpected tears :)
Good morning Patricia, enjoyed reading you

[Patricia Wedel]

Such beautiful and heartfelt wishes for those lost in the Ukraine War....In their memory, the flowers will bloom and dance and the wounded world will hopefully begin a new day. A blessed Easter it was, one of reminiscing and prayers.

dearest DIVYA... there is a Stillness in our Hearts when we think about the Souls sacrificed for Greed and Power. However, as we breathe the Future... we can hope and pray for an Awakening of how to stop the Evil thereof. Thanks for leaving your Heart prints. gently, Pat

Pat, your poem is so timely and moving. The contrast of the peace and beauty of Easter with the hell of war in Ukraine is so perfect. Your imagery is so vivid and evocative, and your language style is lovely. God bless your compassionate, poetic heart always.
"Blessed Easter
where We are One World in a Chorus of Chopin and the Rising Sun ... " Yes.

dearest Annette… most of us cannot fathom what is happening in the Ukraine… and yet we know it is the Evil darkness … it seems that flowers and Music give us Hope. We pray for Miracles and Grace. tenderly, Pat

lovely thoughts in your colorful expressions, Pat! Peace on Earth is a well worn theme but it never gets old does it!? Jesus Christ taught that His Kingdom was not here on Earth; but with our Heavenly Father .. perhaps it the focus was more there than the material world, we wouldn't feel the need to feed greed and avarice .. but hey ... the majority didn't listen to Christ in His days on Earth .. deaf ears are abundant aren't they?! luv on ya! hearts ache for those innocent people of Ukraine .. but to be honest .. their warriors need weapons and prayers. In my opinion of course. ;)

dearest E.. we have come to a Cross Roads… the World will never be the same… we will never learn from the Past. Power means more in our Country which has not been Good for our Citizens…. And Power means more to Russia than their own Citizens. Prayers are the only Hope. Even God threw Lucifer out of Heaven… but why could He not rehabilitate Lucifer in Heaven… is the Decision we Ponder. Thanks for your Words. gently, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

Lucifer is incapable of acknowledging his status as "created" ... Satan committed the sin of rebellion against God ... the Creator .. it's like if i formed a pot from clay, baked it, painted it; and put it on the table for use .. and it said to me ... i think I am the one to be in charge .. and i will go to war with you ... and take it ... ;)

Lucifer is unable to ask for forgiveness .. is what i am saying ... he is simply incapable of it ... and so will never be "rehabilitated" ... ever .. he is so full of malice his only intent is to destroy .. :(

dear Gene… it is so Sad that precious babies and children have to be killed because of the Force of Evil in this World. tenderly, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

it is indeed .. so very evil.

[Sami Khalil]

I celebrate you as a poet and appreciate your much needed message to the world.
May God hear the cries of the innocent, the beareved and trampled upon. Justice will be served one day for judgement day is approaching. No escape of God's true and just justice. The wolves and sheep will be separated, the wheat and the shaft will be sifted. A day in the Almighty court for everyone. Be ready Vladimir.
You are a great voice for humanity.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami.. you are a Blessing to everyone.. always encouraging. Prayers ascending to a place where a River flows beside”Still Waters”. Be Brave dear Heart. I appreciate your Words. tenderly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]
