Deep Thoughts

Far beyond the center of my thoughts,, like an untouchable realm I can see
Pieces and facts merging like salt water and sand at the sea
Turbulent waves keep rolling, before the sand at shore is wet and dries
My heart breaks for so many, watching as the mind slowly dies
It's easy to say that all will be fine, enhanced by days of prayer
But the truth is people are suffering, many not speaking , they don't dare
Deep inside the people, what is happening is known to be wrong
Just like in timing sound in the playing of an off-tune song
Although I write of seeds from atrocity, in words that are sad
We must have courage to stay strong , to overcome what is bad
So much has become twisted and now things are upside-down
To level all this out, we must unite so that we do not drown
An ocean filled with wisdom, that is created together 
To face the biting storms in different types of weather
So swim with courage and strength, reach hands to another
              -   The barren desert is nothing but the other  -

Much to think about as I traverse through the landscape of your thoughts, Heidi. Above all, your uplifting, encouraging words towards the end--So swim with courage and strength, reach hands to another. The barren desert is nothing but .... Your poem deserves my FAVE for its inspiring tone.

I think we're all having those deep thoughts with the way the world is right now Heidi. Why can't people respect each other and live in peace. We can't change things and we have to just accept it. Hope you're well, Tom
