Pause For Peace

Winds constant through the trees, grounding
Designer's chemtrail plans, if just for today.

Fresh air reminds me of forgotten hope, when
Dreams ran on laughter's wings, and everyone
Was free.

No speeches rang from State Fair soapboxes,
Imploring masses to wake from their slumber.

The daily grind was once more fresh-brewed,
Without even a hint of deep-underground
Military-bases.

Generations secure, water and air protected
By honest politicians, reflecting our vote.

There were no clandestine schools for crisis
Actors, false-flag disasters weren't needed
To dis-arm the people.

Tho stock markets were crashing with a familiar
Clang, trust was unwavoring, faith in our captain.

If only today, life lived in a dream, I'll savor this
Moment, to pause for peace.

Many great lines and phrases ... coffee grounds and more universal than U intended, "Deep underground" - will have to read many times. A keeper! shalom & blessings, Anil Deo.

Hmm, so many ways to think here James, but on the balance I guess the manipulation was less invasive 20 years plus ago, it was still there.. But I'll say a certain amount of ignorance was our peace.' good piece))

The only thing over which we have control is peace within and for ourselves. Nice commentary. Thanks

Any relation to John Marshall? No teachers are so restricted by rules that they can hardly move. Others are saying can you imagine a face like that being President. That was even said by a Medical Doctor who must be an authority on something. And even in the same party. When you find out what all of this is leading up to be sure to let me know. Wow. Jim Horn
