Notes About The Poem

As Poets Prepare Their Pens

They hide behind mountains of ignorance, judging within a valley of selfish love. Among weeds where flowers refuse to grow, to the mercy of hypocrites - only we can set them free. As we poets prepare our pens, in the ceremony of a new dawn, let us flow like a million petals, spreading peace through our fingertips, because our hearts beat the same. When they fire bullets at those already wounded, let us swim within sapphire seas of serenity, healing through the purity of compassion - we can beat them at their own game. As twilight signals a new dawn, an abundance of colourful sparkles, infiltrate silent stars, disturbing their reverie, but the moon gazes in admiration, as illuminations brighten horizons. In hope of a beautiful new sunrise, tomorow can be the first day to strum heavenly strings, singing lullabies of peace.
Silent One Simple Musing 01/01/2019 Hope everyone has a great start to 2019, hope all your hopes, dreams and aspirations come true.

One thing we all need - Peace, and freedom of expression. I've been reading a lot of your poetry and it sounds like your work is becoming more universal. You do have your more introspective works, which I enjoy too, but I like the pathways that you are taking with your pen lately. Sorry I am not around here as much. I'm trying to get to reading some of my favorite poets on here today. I've been a busy bee, but I will always make time for some good poetry! Always, Laura

No need to edit.. poetry is subjective... can be interpreted differently..

Thank you for setting me straight on the concepts behind this thought provoking write, SO. Whatever the conflict, we do have a duty to resist conflict, by being peacemakers, as much as possible- by word, or speech... It's a tragedy that those in power are immune to the cries of victims they have created. Thank you for a great poem.

This poem is more about defeating ruling powers who rule with ignorance, poets have that power... Thank you Aqua..

I would certainly join any meaningful effort to bring about peace, Silent One. I like the way the sun is a metaphor for a new light of tranquility. Truly a beautiful write! Happy New Year, Carolyn
