Notes About The Poem

 

Inspired by and dedicated to a fellow poet whom I admire, Victor Buhagiar

The Light Within

Spiritually is like the seeds in the wind Carried by Bethlehem’s singing birds Over oceans and times somewhat grim When the world seems torched of all love and compassion A single seed shall fall back to this earth Giving humanity hope and a new re-birth

Arthur, today it seems these birds have cast the seeds of spirituality on pockets of the modern world. But birds continue to fly and it is our hope that the spiritual qualities of kindness and compassion will continue to spread. Yours is a beautiful poem of hope, much appreciated in today's unsettled world. Hugs, Carolyn

Light, breath, passion. Some seeds lie dormant for years and then suddenly they sprout and surprise even the planter. Well done, arthur.
