- the Madness of the World -

Edens of Garden's beauty Heaven clear and blue The finest dream of all What you will achieve Abolish bleeding wound A drop of blood - makes more than a tear Accept my advice See the butterfly fly and angels dance The eagle soars silently in the blue Wings that turns slowly ... slowly at first then faster Taking its prey - brutal and bloody Abolish the scream comforting the child A particularly light in the garden thrown in waves of the sun`s applause The inner joy does warms the heart blows away the madness of the storm's power I am looking for soft stuff that I can take into my heart Heavenly tones promises eternal peace Sensitive thoughts comes and goes ... It's the truth I'm looking for 13.04.2014 A-L Andresen :)

A wonderful picture you paint. Shines like a star to guide a lost soul home!!! Bravo!! A love that big must surely rest in two hearts at least! For if in one only it would surely burst!

Anne, a great write. Kudos! Marvelous imagery, as usual, and more than few great lines: "...the sun's applause," "looking for soft stuff," and the great ending, "It's the truth I'm looking for." I'm looking for it too. I don't know if you collaborate, but it would be fun to give it a whirl. Love and peace, Mel :)

Agree and you put all too well. Like the lines: "Abolish bleeding wound. A drop of blood - makes more than a tear". Tough, but real imagery, Anne. Well done!

Isn't it God's truth who is looking for us? Why do things seem so sensitive? When with God we love to live And is it really always essential That our poems will be punctual. Is what we want only free form Which will establish a new norm When our souls want to be implicit And in our poems equally explicit. Are you related to Katya Andresen?
