Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of a golden sun rising

Waves of Roosters' Songs

Waves of rooster's songs resound
Voices like hallejuha 
Split the quiet morning's air
Nature I'm listening to you

I hear and see the glorious.
A golden sun beginning
A pale blue sky dotted gray
There seems to be no ending

Pines silhouetted with raised limbs
Crepe Myrtle's fuchsia blossoms
Crows disturbed warn of danger
Look back to times forgotten

Learn from history my country men
Safeguard our future lives
When the morals of a nation
Decay, listen for the fife

Today every wrong is obeyed
Lying, cheating a must
When did killing become the norm
No longer in God we trust

The hollow sound of the doves
Their mourning echoes strong  
There's dew upon the cut grass
Will the sound of trumpet be long?

They say the Mayan calendar ended
In 2012, today it is 2018
Maybe God could not expose
The horrors of the world's extreme

they say 2012 is about the time of the Mandela effects too. So many strange things in this world. I enjoyed the imagery in this.

Maureen, So an opera is emotional. I have never been to one only seen excerpts in movies, etc. Thanks for the visit to my page. I appreciate you dropping by and taking time to comment. Sara
