This Troubled Realm-Written With Frederic Parker

This Troubled Realm-CoWritten with Frederic Parker When the depth of our soul embraces kindness and is tethered to wisdom, this truth we learn... only our hearts can free our own blindness for it is a world of peace for which we yearn. A place where no one has reason to shed tears, an Earth in which the needs of mankind are met and we live our lives without sorrows and fears. Each day brings us happiness instead of regret. The world around us is a creation to behold, where days and nights exchange shades of light. We stand in awe of it and grow ever old, exposing our frailties that we constantly rewrite. Mortality is a battle we can never hope to win but we should aspire to share our world in accord, striving to live together as a brotherhood of kin with profound unity wherein no one is ignored. In this troubled realm we call home, a wish for peace that it can be as beautiful as our minds perceive, creating a wondrous society in which hate will cease and bring to fruition what our dreams conceive. We can all be dreamers. It's there, within our reach if we treat each other with respect and amity. These thoughts I offer you so that we may teach each other how to find peace. A lesson for humanity. *My sincere thanks to Frederic for sharing his poetic talents with me to write these verses that would lead us all to live in a better world.

This is so beautifully done. Congrats to both of you. I admire people who can collaborate. I tried it once. It was such a struggle for me; I shall never do it again but I ADMIRE this poem because it is a collaboration and I think they are terribly difficult. It flows in a gorgeous way!

Thank you for the kind thought, Milt, but nothing I write has gotten a potd since June, and that's ok with me. You know how I feel about that. Perhaps it will be Frederic who'll be recognized. I'd be happy with that.
