Refractory Reflections

by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen — Read all 1,670 poems by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen

I see contradictions
cracked reflections
truthful pain
I see that

love abides hate
hate abhors love and

sometimes

pain hurts less
than knowledge

I see

children who could
be saved
by absent parent�s care
and food

and

war-ripped lands of
murderous fiends
have innocent lives
lost to us

I see...me us you
here safe and sassy and
less rich in spirit

as refractory reflections
steal away our dreams
of peace on earth
goodwill to men...

Cracked.

Wonderful writing! "I see...me us you" Like the way that line flows and how the whole poem flows.

I agree with you dear. I am pessimistic also. And know the blood will flow for a long time, when it starts. My heart is so sad. Love Bill
