Dear Valsa,your poem is a powerful and concise reflection, capturing the urgency of our times. The contrast between violence and the call for peace is striking. The simplicity of the words makes the message even more impactful—reminding us that love and peace are what we truly need in moments of chaos. Good luck in the contest ...Hugs

I long to see a world that is peaceful and not filled with fears and hatred especially in some parts of the world as as we see today dear sweet valsa. This is such a heartfelt and impactful lanterne. In few words youve said something that would leave an impression. I hope you are doing well. I just got back on soup after a while. Thank you for supporting me and for being kind always. Sending you light always

If only...I hear you, Valsa. Blessings my friend. Two need to cease...or there will always be fire.

Cease fire! Something tells me it is just wishful thinking.
