Our love shines
in the written word
yet seldom
in those said.
Our pain cries out
in every verse
yet only to the dead.
Our fear
is really never heard
except
by those in dread.
Our hope is drowned out
by a world
once protected by who we were
then lost by who we've become instead.
Our love
lives strong in things absurd
Oh how we've been misled.

Very, Very good. I think that this is true for some. Many are lost because they chose to be lost. I also believe that many are misled because their minds are wondering to much to find a path that fits them in life.

How true, Pierre. The world is in a sad state of affairs. It is not too late if we change but... Thank you for sharing this meaningful offering. Love and peace to you,
The love, enmasse, of all people in what ths world needs to bring peace back to those who are without.. Prayering together helps and ppeople together in chapels, temple, church anywhere people can get together and pray as one collectively.Pray with me Pierre.
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
Dear readers, this is my third book of poems, and inside are a special collection of what have turned out to be not only MY personal favorites, but also the favorites of many of YOU. Some of these have never been available in print before...
