Carolyn Devonshire Poet Rhyme

Peaceful Dreams

Hitched a ride on a reindeer last night
As Northern Lights painted the sky
On top of a manger below
The most heavenly star cast its glow
In the frosty air, voices I heard
The angelic choir spreading God’s word

     “On this Christmas Morn, a Savior is born”

When the snow finally started to fall
I had visions of peace for us all
Every nation had faith, hope and joy
There was love for each girl and each boy
But when I woke, things were not as they’d seemed
Can we only find peace in our dreams

     “There’ll be no crisis; no talk of ISIS
     On this Christmas morn, a Savior is born”

Paul Callus November 5, 2016 at 3:41 PM I love the way you dream, Carolyn!! Having experienced the 60s I cannot but recall the slogan of Love & Peace. All we need is love...trust...and hope. As long as there are people of good faith, then not all is lost! Hugs // paul

Judy Ball November 2, 2016 at 4:51 PM Beautifully done Carolyn. We can only find peace by giving in to God's Will. He gives the peace that passes all understanding. Nicely done and an early Merry Christmas to all. A seven from me. God Bless, JB

Daver Austin November 2, 2016 at 9:55 AM Yes, it seems we can find peace only in dreams. I do a lot of it. Very fine and timely, Carolyn. Love, Dave

Michelle Mac Donald November 2, 2016 at 4:38 AM A beautifully inspirational write, Carolyn! 'Arthur vaso' has very much summed this up...begins with 'thoughts of kindness', which becomes a 'pay it forward' movement. Loving this poem! Hugs, Mikki :)

Arthur Vaso November 1, 2016 at 9:55 PM Peace starts with thoughts of kindness, then words of kindness, then poems of kindness, and then a small kind gesture here and there, if we can bring peace around us, we can surely spread it. I loved this poem!

Andrea Dietrich November 1, 2016 at 3:44 PM this is wonderful, Carolyn, it's a dream i can't even imagine these days. I don't know what you are talking about. You are much more inspired than I am these days!! I just GOTTA go home and write something. I'm gonna leave right now. I am all caught up now!! Carolyn Devonshire November 1, 2016 at 3:51 PM Though peace is not at hand, it stays forever in my heart. We can't give up hope.

Daniel Turner November 1, 2016 at 3:36 PM A beautiful poem for a beautiful dream, Mrs Carolyn. Unfortunately, dreams are the only place one can find peace in these turbulent days. Carolyn Devonshire November 1, 2016 at 3:41 PM Sometimes I cry just thinking how violent our world has become. Still, we continue our quest for peace.

Tim Smith November 1, 2016 at 3:28 PM I wish things were as you dreamt Carolyn. I fear for my children's generation. I love your poem. Carolyn Devonshire November 1, 2016 at 3:43 PM Today's children are growing up with threats we never had to face. So sad.

Elaine George November 1, 2016 at 3:22 PM What a beautiful message you have conveyed, Carolyn. I take long walks on the beach and through the forest every day to free my mind from the horrors still going on in this world. It is so nice to see your beautiful face again and read your uplifting poetry. Your old friend, Elaine (Lainey) Carolyn Devonshire November 1, 2016 at 3:44 PM Glad to be back, Lainey. Will visit you!

Chris Green November 1, 2016 at 3:13 PM Nicely done Carolyn. How you brought the headlines of today in with the "headlines written in the stars" of the past was fantastic. Beautifully written.
