When these things come to pass, the weeping of children will turn to laughter and all will be as it should be.
She is
She is the rarest of things A painite crystal so seldom seen She is life-saving An oasis in a sea of sand She is elusive A butterfly flitting from flower to flower She is soothing An evening rainfall after a torrid day She is gentle An angelic child yet wise She is sad A wild bird captive in a cage She is held prisoner by the schemes of men She waits When the hearts of humans melt And compassion flows from them She will be set free And Peace will soar At last
I AM REMINDED; '...I WILL KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON ME...' THUS, INDEED, OUR HEARTS AND MINDS CAN BE KEPT...FILLED WITH FAITH AND HOPE UNTIL... PEACE ...SOARS ETERNALLY! THANKS FOR SHARING, MY FRIEND. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
And when shall this come?
In our lifetime?
It shall be. . .
During the millennium?
No, when god decree's
For only He
Holds peace in His hands.
Universal and individual.
Your poem was a joy to read Reg

I really like this one a lot. It's very calm, peaceful and beautiful.
At most times peace seems so ellusive though I believe it is a concept whose time has arrived and with the determination of everyone on the planet, it could indeed reign. Beautiful poem.
Take care,
Sherry
Oh this is a heart wrencher Regis, oh too often we hold our little ones back from attaining there true potential, but if we stand back and let them shine, as they will in there own time, we see the true beauty and talents within.
Yes, let them take flight, to be free to unlock the genius within.
Wonderful write, and I am glad to be able to get into your den tonight to say Gday, missed you, and your gilded quill my friend.
I had been away from the den for some time, so now I am catching up with everyone at last.
Best regards to you
Ch'erie :)
This is just so simply wonderful, Regis. The beauty, the words, the scenery, the images are all a part of what we hold very dear in our hearts. This one made me cry too, dear brother, but tears of joy because one day I so hope that compassion will set us all free and that peace will definitely soar higher than the eagle.
Thanx for sharing this warm, tender, and passionate write from your heart, Regis. I really enjoyed this.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Reg, that was a beautiful poem that reminds me of a lady I once knew. I felt unyielding sorrow as I read deeper into these beautiful words. Thank you for sharing.
The photo, the colors, and the words are all part of the perfection, Regis. But most of all, the beauty lies inside of you. Thank you for making the day.
WHEW!
Regis, this is a beautiful testament to the uniqueness of all God's creatures, and the importance of seeing what often is obscured by our inabilities to see beyond our own selfish selfs.
A blessing here

Hmm. Inspiring, but hard to anchor myself in. It seems to me that it would work better if you were more concrete, perhaps focusing on one metaphor instead of many.
I loved the dove, as I am in love with birds. I loved the gentle way you worded your poem. Wisdom in your poem speaks in soft whispery voices of the ancient days of all the golden ages gone by and speaks of the golden age that is here for these that have eyes to see and ears to hear, and speaks of all the golden ages yet to come. the little girl is beautiful. May God bless you and yours.

The innocence of this precious "She" gives bright hope for the future. If we could only see through their eyes and perceive the world as beautiful as they do without looking through our tarnished eyes, what a much better joyous world this would be! Spendid poem Reg!Thanks for sharing!
I like this poem as it gently touches the soul. Let everybody get freedom to fly and soar.Thanks Regis for your deep insight to human feelings

It is verses like this my dear friend that make me smile. You pen the hurt and the HOPE with such ease. Children are our most precious resource on earth and if we would only allow them the freedom to grow in a world of peace and love, then our future would be brighter than the Sun and as peaceful as a dove. Beautiful writing Regis. Good day to you dear friend. :)
"She waits
When the hearts of humans melt
And compassion flows from them
She will be set free
And Peace will soar
At last"
Tremendous Regis! It's all about compassion first!
Photo fits so well with this verse.
You have a heart of Gold!! Shine on sacred soul!
Love, Suzie :-D
This is a very sweet write, Regis. Children are precious gifts and their innocence only serves to solidify their preciousness. They symbolize a simpler time when cares were neither known, nor possible, or so it seemed to them.
Wonderful sentiments of a better place a better time and as long as we are strong enough to keep on wishing we still may see these hopes come to pass.

Don't quite understand about her being held prisoner by the schemes of men, but the poem, as a whole, is beautiful and very special. Children. Why do they have to grow up and become different people?

Reg!! I missed you friend!!!!!
I was pleading today, where is my precious Reg????..Thank God your back and this write shows the incredible beauty in your heart and soul..I am left speachless of your beautiful soul, angel..!!!
Very beautiful, sweet soul, and ends with hope of a brighter tomorrow. I do have hope! The graphic is perfect. Can I borrow it? I'm reminded of "White Bird" by It's A Beautiful Day. Do you recall the song? Thank you for gracing us with your vision...
B E A U T I F U L is this and beautiful Her name, too. And Grace will fly with her when that great day comes. We live in Hope, Regis, with Faith and Charity, too. Keep planting those white feathers and wait in anticipation of a downy snowstorm, a blessed white-out of peace! Wouldn't that be something? The purity in this is refreshing. A wonderful perspective and intense tone. Bless you and thank you. Kate xx

She is strength, and power, isn't she
Mother Nature? The intertwining of good and evil
was prevalent, and I can hear your voice in this.
Continued positivity in your writing,
