Of Flags and Wings
 

 White flags
White wings
~waving~
~soaring~
in the air 

An arm stretched out--
An olive branch extended…
a call for truce,
a hope for love,
a wish for peace expressed 

White flags of amity
A dove of peace
bring calm, goodwill and harmony
offering serenity, tranquility, and love
Oh, peaceful flutterings, rest gently on my soul…

 

Author's note:  This poem  can also be read as two separate poems by reading every other line, with the concluding line in each stanza being read in both poems.

...what beauty you give us in your words...and with respect you inspire the remembrance of peaceful freedom...we sometime take for granted. ...and Cryssa...I am honored that you find something of inspiration in my writing...for it is the flag of your friendship...which also gives me wings to write.
