Notes About The Poem

Marching Band

*Inspired by the photo

The light of hope swirls in the sky
As clouds form pictures to the eye
As if no distance is too far
It is all around, where we are
Quiet peace of a golden meadow
Where inspiration finds its flow
To rise with the sun above all
Burdens carried that now may fall
Off our shoulders with creation
Sharing with others elation
From sky to the land, hand in hand
United like a marching band
The music in our soul to be heard
Is cast like the sun with every word
