Notes About The Poem

Winds of Change

sweet zephyr breezes 
jasmine empress butterflies 
rainbows in our sky

                                           silence once golden
                                           angelic voices trumpet
                                           song of the poet

unity breeds strength
moonbeams in togetherness
sunlight for each one

                                           living in the now
                                           join the love revolution
                                           smile on your brother

seeker of eden
no longer searching alone
bards in harmony

This ended up being controversial, not surprisingly. Some will always resist change. Thx much

Tom True seekers seek for harmony Not to spread discord One can only hope and imagine One day we will live to see it in our own lifetimes But at this current moment in time The wind needs to change and go in a completely different direction Otherwise we all will be blown away in this hurricane

One at a time but every single one is a victory in itself Keep spreading hope for change Exactly all we can do Play our some small part

Rumors of my demise... Thanks to all for supporting this effort toward peace. In this world peace is elusive, yet we must still do our part, even if it involves certain sacrifices.

I have lived in Africa since I was a child, of which at least 40 years have been in South Africa, therefore our family was glued to the TV last night when South Africa, our Springbok team, winners of the last Rugby Cup Final, and playing again in the World Cup Final In France against another Titan, The All Blacks from New Zealand, won once more by a mere point. Celebrations and congratulations were the order of the day, all over South Africa today, and now i tell why I was ecstatic they won! The South African Captain of the team Siya Kolisi, spoke on International TV, that it was only through unity and the sense of a kindred spirit between them that they won the game. It was so important he felt that they should win, not only for prestige, but for the good of the country which would bring South Africans closer to one another united in their strength of purpose. Both your excellent poem and your note to us, is about unity thus my lengthy comment to you. Hugs Jen.

A lovely poem Tommy, and I particularly applaud your words for joint unity and peace. You know me I'm all for it and I for one will share your words too... since change begins from within, let me also be one of the first to apologize to anyone I may have ever offended on this site. I'm sure all of us can do it, and live in harmony. Peace, Love and Hugs
