In my dream I lived on the edge of the future Untangling the schemes and webs of the past I sought out the leaders of nations that reigned with havoc, division, hatred and blame I gathered the cannons, and missles that blast The bullets, the hand grenades, the rifles and bombs, Daggers, and hand guns...and one by one... all the weapons of mankind, were sent to the moon I melted them together, in a bubbling brew.. Cooled, them, and molded and shaped them anew Into a bright shiny spaceship. of alien steel With smooth silver skin, and a promise within A silver-scaled symbol, with a flaming red tail To blaze the frontier, with amazing new trails Imagine the journey, as we circled the stars! On this voyage to the heavens, every leader joined hands We soared like a comet , 'til enlightened were we.. Learning new ways to heal earthly scars When our war torn planet had been given a rest With restored human kindness, .....we returned from our quest Back to our home, and more gentle our steps In dreams our for the future, ...is it too hard to find? I would take you along, if my dream comes again Such a quest for our future, is a place to begin... ___________________________________________________

Hopeful thoughts, Carrie. Congratulations! BTW, if you have a chance read "The Earth Abides" that Mark Peterson and I wrote. It's on my page. Our solution was a bit more final. Cheers.

A drop in another ocean of comments: Congratulations on a win in my contest! I think your poem represents a way for mankind to put aside all of the senseless violence and hatred and learn to love one another and co-operate to conquer all obstacles! A very hopeful message indeed, and I very much enjoyed reading it!

I considered placing this poem higher, but I did ask for NEW poems =(.

Now this one will be hard to top, Carrie! I predict #1! I didn't see a way to take the subject matter seriously, but you sure made a very compelling point and deserve applause. Great work! Love, Carolyn
