Words falling like the tear drops
hanging on the strings of hopes,
words you never knew before
falling deep into your core.
Would you take them in your heart?
Would you wrap them in some art
you are calling poetry
just to fight their bigotry?
Sounds that sound like loving waves
hidden in the mountain’s caves,
sounds that never made a word
but a hum into your cord.
Would you wrap your arms around?
Would you spread them on the ground
on the cross of life and death
just to feel their loving breath?
Would you take the words of fear
to the lord of love, the seer?
Would you ask him to erase
all these words into his grace?
Emanating waves of love
flying wings of the white dove
bring the peace into your mind.
Words are now of the same kind.
No more swords of brilliant minds
no more shining through the blinds
no more time for hatred’s night!
Let there be Eternal Light!

It starts within each of us. Then, among us. And it should spread like a virus… That’s what I think, believe, hope.

Lovely tanaga to the joys of Easter. I like the description in this phrase “swords of brilliant minds” overcome by “waves of love”.

thank you, Frank! It has been an intriguing (at the beginning) task. But then, after I became accustomed to the rhythm and the waves of the seven syllables, everything fell into place 🙂 for me. I don’t know about what others feel or think, but to me it was ok! The Easter subject popped up right in the end. A stanza before and I had nothing like this in my mind! I enjoyed doing this homework, thank you!

I so very much thank you, Lynn! Your message means a lot to me! I’ve started writing in English last summer, it simply came this way, like a flow I couldn’t resist it. I was and I still am scared for what I am writing in this foreign language. If this is good or not… I write to you these things now to explain why I feel so grateful to you! ❤

I would not have guessed that English is a second language for you; keep writing!
