This Troubled Realm a Collaboration With Jenna Logan
When the depth of our soul embraces kindness
and is tethered to wisdom, this truth we learn
only our hearts can free our 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 sorrow and fears.
Each day brings us happiness instead of regrets
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 must often 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 so that we may teach
each other to find peace, the lesson for humanity.
Thank you Jenna for your kindness and poetic verse
