Poem
The Guardian Melodic lullabies echo As heart strings strum secret chords As transcendental images appear Stargazers are lost for words Kaleidoscopic Illuminations Paint the sky in optimistic light Hope descends in serene silence Floating through shadows of the night Dancing spirits move to dulcet tunes Shadows can be seen against the moon Oh Redeemer do you hear their call? Take with you those who have gone too soon Hallelujah- Hallelujah Hallelujah- Hallelujah From the mouth of Babes To hallowed ground we trip hand in hand A new chapter to embrace in its splendour Ring out voices on notes sweet and clear To the universe our souls will surrender Fragments of the past spun into flags of freedom Our Victory March erased from strife Away with the racing winds ever so bold Singing Hallelujah to hail a new Life The lighter the air the higher we climb No more the fetid chitter chatter To the fading strains of a repetitive tune Not broken -We rise - We matter Hallelujah-Hallelujah Hallelujah-Hallelujah The Guardian Cyber conducts no hateful words Whisper soft winds only of love Ring euphonious echoes of Rapturous joy While Heaven beckons from above Finally free from those who judge, Eyes glow as laughter begins to vibrate Running together through fields of freedom Babes hum rhapsodies that liberate. From the mouth of Babes Jubilous our shouts as onward we go Skipping, laughing as each other we chase Heaven embraces as we run to her arms Soothed we feel in her cocooned embrace Dissipate grey clouds from this Promised Land Our Hallelujahs peal out sweet and light Celestial Symphonies reach a crescendo As the stars twinkle lustrous tonight Hallelujah-Hallelujah-Hallelujah-Hallelujah Acknowledgement: My deepest appreciation to Silent One for his contributions and collaborating with me to bring this message of Hope to parents and loved ones who have suffered the extreme sadness through loss of their innocent children and the dark despair that follows. Tragic as their loss is, this poem is to offer solace and perhaps help them understand their child has not totally gone. In ‘Hallelujah - From the Mouth of Babes’, this is what I envision it to be beyond the void of criticism and bullying, where Ethereal beings welcome them back to another innocent realm where they readily resume childlike exuberance. Perhaps, they will return in another time away from their dark experience.’ For my friend Kate Pennington an amazing lady dedicated to helping the youth in ‘Beyond a Joke’ Anti-Bullying Center, Australia, for whom I wrote ‘Starry Starry Night’ some time ago.
