How can we lighten this darkest song
through sun & moon's mystic eye
will humankind ever learn to get along
lost souls seeking a place to survive
how to right all this evil wrong
look into their terrified eyes
where has all the birdsongs gone

wishing all peace in your day....
Peace and light during these darkest days!
ReplyDeleteThank you Grace, may peace and light find a way,
DeleteWhen will we all get along. Good question
ReplyDeleteMuch love
It is a question that has perplexed people since the earliest civilizations.
DeleteI am wondering the same thing. Where have peoples' hearts gone? How can Russian soldiers fire upon civilians, on foot, trying to flee to safety? When they were told they were on a "military mission and humanitarian exercise"???????
ReplyDeleteI hope peace will come sooner than later. There needs to be a reconciliation of hearts and I don't see that happening soon,
DeleteThe last line leaves a lasting impression.
ReplyDeleteSomething to ponder…
DeleteI wish words could make a difference but, it will take action to change the course of events.
ReplyDeleteMay rays of light shine on…
Beautiful and bittersweet.
ReplyDeleteYes, sadly true…
DeleteA great emptiness, in both eyes and landscape.
ReplyDeleteA vast void of desolation… so much weariness
DeleteHopefully the birdsong will return eventually. The terror eyes have seen ...
ReplyDeleteLet us hope…..
