For Cyndi - a Blitz Poem-- News of Revolution
NEWS OF REVOLUTION
Yesterday's wars
yesterday's news
news without end
news that isn't new
new day
new dawn
dawn arrives
dawn brings rain
rain so familiar
rain of blood red leaves
leaves fall again
leaves can shout of spring
spring is eternal
spring brings hope
hope for renewal
hope to heal
heal the wounded,
heal our hearts
hearts reach out to hearts
hearts can listen
listen and accept
listen to each other
other ways to bend
other ways to mend
mend the wedges
mend our bridges
bridges of enlightenment
bridges of understanding
understanding me
understanding you
you are not so different
your desires are the same
same respect
same love of family
family of the world
family cries for peace
peace for our children to thrive
peace for the future
future is precarious
future is now
now is today
now is tomorrow
tomorrow is in our hands
tomorrow waits
waits to see
waits and prays
prays to start anew
prays for revolution
revolution and resolve to love
revolution to live and let live
live
love
