Drown in Beauty ~ #poetry #freeverse

To dwell in the silence, down under

The calm waters, below the waves

Surrounded by coral reefs, colors

Of the sea, and the inhabitant fish

Basking in the flow of the rippling tides

Where they can quietly swim about

Oh, yes, freedom, freedom from

The reckless and uncaring, the

Human factor, dehumanized beings

When, alas, I realize, as I sum it all up

I would rather drown in beauty

Than live in the ugliness of mankind

They followed an effervescent star

Not really knowing, how near nor how far

Three wise kings, their journey to find

The reason this light shined, on all of mankind

For in a manager, in Bethlehem, a son

Yes, He was anointed, the blessed one

Born of the virgin, Mary, he became

The one, our Savior, Jesus was his name

They found him, nestled, in a crib of hay

Laid gifts for new born, on this Christmas Day

Rejoice in Him, the season, of joy and of love

As He smiles down upon us, from His kingdom above

Reflecting

“I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.” – Leonardo da Vinci
reflectioneye

I wake up every morning and wonder what the day will bring forth. Will it be a quiet day or a day filled with horrors?  A day of school shootings, or car-jackings, of bomb threats, mall shootings & knock downs or just overall disdain for human life.  The images, embedded in every news story the media sees fit to throw in our faces.  I had actually stopped watching the news over the last few days until all hell broke loose again.

And what can we do about it?  Do we turn off the television, the radio, the internet?  No matter where we turn, we are bombarded by these horrific acts, of wars waged on the innocents.  I am losing my faith in mankind, in man kindness.  I never thought I would see a day that people would have to fear going to a shopping mall or children walking into a school building.

Our country is in such a state of unrest and it’s up to us, we Americans, to take a stand and get back what is rightfully ours.  We can not allow government to take over, we can not let the villains surround us and we can not, under any circumstance, give up!!!

Like the title says,  Reflecting,  on what’s around me and hoping for, no working on, making a better tomorrow.  Will you join me?
