One billion voices rising
Let me add mine
No miracles in the offing
But for now it’s just fine
That the waters are rippling
And along the skyline
More kites are a-flying
With your wishes and mine.
See that little girl skipping
See the way her eyes shine
And that sprightly lad kicking
Pebbles soaked in brine.
Surely there is nothing
That should differently define
The hopes they are inheriting
Their tomorrows to design.
These times that are churning
May be a welcome sign
Society’s belly regurgitating
Before patriarchy’s shrine.
Why see ourselves as standing
On different sides of the line
The world that I dream of
Isn’t that also thine?
Life is for celebrating
And our selves to refine
The chance for unearthing
Gems from our spirit’s mine
So here’s to love and living
A quaff of the heady wine
That is eternally brewing
In the heart of the divine.

A great big hug to you too Sue. It’s wonderful to know that there is so much positivity going around , although appearances may scare us with all the ill-will and violence happening around us.

What wonderful sentiments you have wrote of here Nadira, I hope that in this Earthly Brewing of Eternity we can see our hearts take shape as we form a hug to embrace each other no matter what side of the Line we stand…
So many innocents depend on our love.. Let us hope Mankind can see his way forward to seeing that each child on earth should be able to skip in safety and smile at life with joy from their eyes…
Wonderful Poem and so good to see you publishing 🙂
Hugs Sue
