Conflict Blues

The hurt of conflict
Lives held in a higher place
Like stars twinkling
Beyond the blue horizon
Leaving earthly pain behind!

It would be nice to escape to another dimension when we're feeling pain, Harry. I like the image of lives behing held in twinkling stars. Beam me up, Scottie. Love, Carolyn
