Unanimity
Love makes you strong
yet helpless at times.
Love can move mountains
yet not heal a suffering friend.
We can comfort, soothe and help,
hold a hand, give courage, but
can we remove the core pain?
Is being there enough when storm roars?
I look at the birds and see their ease
their natural being, living free today;
I listen to shouting and angry voices
who think they know how to lead.
I say, you don’t know a thing.
We all need care, love and togetherness.
Not anger and weapons,
lifeless tools for creating a whole.
Fragmented you leave the world.
Let love and care be behind our actions
it is surprising how good that feels,
Remember, we are all the same
and yet unique.
Our souls will whisper our songs
They will all sing in tune.

We shall all sing in Unison and Oneness, Miriam and that day will surely come where there will be no one who is angry or with weapons or there are wars where everything and everyone gets destroyed but a world of beauty and love. Such lovely and awesome poem. Too good.

A beautiful poem that’s got me thinking: “Can we remove the core pain?” I believe that takes a lot of work and often a team effort with God/Creator as part of the team. Maybe the core pain has a lot to do with the anger and the weapons. Some people, including people in power, may never go into the pain, never acknowledge the need for healing, though it is possible. For those who are willing, we can at least shrink the core pain enough to move forward into the love and togetherness we all need. And our souls will all sing in tune. I love how you end your poems with hope.
