The 2011 Grin

Grinning facetiously, frozen in The moment, zealously enjoying frivolity, With smile, ovaled wide-open mouthed, clean bright Sparkling pearl white teeth ... all majestically a glow. Fire powered with healthy purity. Accompanied by a loud euphonious deep thundering Voice, intensely roaring aloud ... louder Almost deafening, Exhilarate sounds of joy, Part of the flash, exuberance and health in the moment. Cheerful tears of uncontrollable glee Ecstatically flowing, drop by drop, Slow, Into an loosely-defined pool of happiness, To celebrate healthy blessedness. The joy of the new 2011... with its uncertainty An opportunity to review, rectify, and grow with hope. Time to re-stoke the fire of faith In all that we are And with all that we have... Let Us Come Together To Build a Non-Violent World © Charles H Keys, 2011

Chuck, I love the structure and hopefulness in your poem. The jubilation we feel on New Years makes us feel like all things are possible. Become our leader in fostering a non-violent world and I will be right behind you! Much love, Carolyn
