The face Aglow; then frowns The heart All love, and then breaks The mind Changes as fast as heart rate Strong opinions Are best to flee If we wish to find harmony The cat She purrs And spurs fear away The dog Invokes strokes And incites tit bits all day Life is dual Right or wrong Fuel to inspire or disrupt song May life be lived? Aware of this And despite it all; Might peace be established within our present amiss…?
Questioning ourselves, our surface, our opinions and then delving deeper, in search for lasting, peaceful truth. These are my feelings when reading your inspirational piece, so easy to relate to.
I love the path of thoughts that you have shared here, Suzie. Thank you. Love and peace to you,
Regis

Well yup, you gotta try to put up with those aussie bloke...
Ex cons. At least they try... But your mother country is the real deal for a lady...Shelia..lol
It is always nice to hear from you folks downunder. We visited your fine land a decade ago and enjoyed every minute -- including the time that our tour buss forgot to drop us off at our hotel until we were the last ones aboard. C'est la vie.
Very hard to have one without the other in this world Suzie! We must always seek peace and pray we get it, but know also that we are too divided the world over ,so that war is always waiting in the wings. Excellent poem!
I pray for peace every day. One day perhaps we will realize harmony. I wish to see this in my lifetime for the peace of my grandchildren. Thank you for a beautiful poem.

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
