Heroes

"Heroes"

We were always
each other’s heroes,

no denying 
that;

time does its sets,
we still play like ghosts

dancing 
in each other’s laps

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)

Lady Labyrinth Date: 11/3/2023 9:32:00 AM Heroes. Login to Reply Lady Labyrinth Date: 11/3/2023 6:30:00 PM since writing this poem, the concept of "Heroes" has transitioned to current world events...and specifically, the children on both sides of the war (and in Life, globally). Children need Heroes - real Heroes. Always. Love is what matters, always. If only the adults could understand - that LOVE, is where everything begins and ends and it is ALL in this world ... that matters. Humane LOVE and respect for each other as humans (irrespective of skin colour, culture, religion), could achieve so much for where it all begins, the children.

Christina Bowring Date: 10/21/2023 9:52:00 AM I love this. So creative. Amazing lines that go well with the video. ‘ time does its set , we still play like ghosts’- what beautiful words. I have always had a couple of heroes in my life and you are right - we all need some to look up to, take inspiration from. So enjoyed this from your talented, unique poetic heart. Thank you for sharing. Hugs to you xx Login to Reply Lady Labyrinth Date: 10/21/2023 4:11:00 PM Thank you Christina. I have to say, I'm finding it quite difficult now to write poetry, with the current events unfolding in the Middle East and around the world. Let us hope the best heroes save the numerous unheralded heroes (especially the children, both sides), who are looking for heroes over there, or anywhere in the world at present. xx
