Lin Lane Poet Haiku

Light Defeats Dark

Light Defeats Dark

     peace will not exist
in this world, as we know it
    'til God takes control

    sheer ignorance can
prove to be the deepest root
     of a warring mind

       war is such folly
wasted lives ~ what wicked shame.
      foolish foolish man

  what of minds at war
a different kind of fight
  lies within one's self

      elusive is peace
for one who has lost all hope
   take heart ~ God exists

  and in His New World
peace will live on forever
     as He intended

    light will defeat dark
peace will overcome all wars
  God's work will be done

Elis Artis October 25, 2015 at 9:19 AM I enjoyed reading it from top to bottom! I love the religious theme and imagery, and you're right light always defeats dark, nothing stops God's plan. You're so talented, God bless you! Lin Lane October 25, 2015 at 9:59 AM Thank you for reading this one, Elis, and for your thoughtful compliments... to God and my poem. He intended for Earth to be a paradise, and His word is Truth.
