TETRACTYS

This one I wrote especially for the Tetractys #3 contest : In the midst of numerous deadlines and just hours before the last date for the contest. This is my first attempt at it so bear with me

PEACE
more peace
is needed,
in these times of
violence, and bloodshed, and hatred.
Where despair and dejection are present:
drive them out with
the shine and
light of
LOVE


LOVE
in the
time of hate
is difficult
to preach, to follow, to spread everywhere.
But do remember that , no matter what,
HE is there to
give us what
we need :
STRENGTH


STRENGTH
is not
physical
only, it is more.
It is mental, it is emotional,
it is spiritual and much much more:
The will to do,
the right thing
in any
case.

Beautiful flow with a good message. It's really easy to follow and very inspirational. The gradual and gentle tone is heartwarming. It's really a good poem.

Keep Writing. ^___^
