The Sound of World Peace

Photo Artist : Akirakusaka Author of Poem: Mystic Rose I stood there in a field of tall tall grass light pouring softly from the moon beneath my feet, earth was getting ready for a dormant state of mind I watched the dandelion puffs huddle amidst the dark and wondered, what it would be like if we finally achieved world peace... My gauzy gown of gray floated in the wind. As I hugged myself real tight, I started to pray to the moon that it would not withdraw its liquid light of gold. World peace had been sleeved for too long and now I wanted to see it, before I grew old... Laced in a field of nature I rounded up all my hopes and wishes then I blew the dandelion puffs one by one like a brave child; Yesterday I danced on a hot sidewalk with a skipping rope by the sun tonight I dance on a patch of cool damp earth, hoping the battle is won I cupped my ear to the sound of silence and sure enough it sounded like a cease fired moment of nothing, a sound never heard before one I knew nothing about, the sound of world peace.

Beautiful poetry, Mystic Rose! World moving further into darkness for a spell it seems. Don't just look to Russian and Ukraine, it is a reflection of our own shadowy Democracy as well. I pray your sentiment, wonderfully written, spiritual strength!
