Hugs

...just read it!

We embrace those we love, and we love those we embrace, praying for their safety.

We hold weapons in our hands; we make our hands weapons, to protect those we love.

But while holding those weapons in our hands, we cannot embrace them.

We cannot know they are save unless we protect them.

So, we fight. We fight to protect them; to keep them from harm.

Waiting for the day we can put our arms away, and embrace them once more.

[Fanciful Goddess]

Very nice poem! I like it!

I like this poem too. It's words reach quite deep into the reader's soul.
I admire your use of symbolism for this one. I would encourage that you do that for many of your future works. I like to do that as well. It paints a certain mystery about what is written, as well as the artist.^^
