Finding Peace
Poetic Licence said:
I find outer peace and inner peace are different, you can visit a beautiful location and feel relaxed and so at ease in that moment, but when you leave that area reality kicks in and the struggle for inner peace comes alive again , for some its a never ending battle with demons, nicely expressed and written write

Finding Peace

Very nice it brings back memories of youth spent in the high Uinta mountains where I spent a week thirty miles form civilization. No roads of even trails just deer and trout in the stream and bear signs. A nostalgic feeling to this poem that has been lost to civilization for years. Indeed as you state the place still exists but now invaded by hikers, hunters and campers. Not at all the same nor is the feeling of going there.

Hold on to Humanity
Mutley Ravishes said:
I remember reading a martial arts teacher\'s thoughts on war. He was stationed in China during the Japanese occupation back around WW2. He said, \"In a war, many humans lose their humanity.\" I can\'t imagine what you\'ve witnessed.

Poetic Licence said:
The double edged sword, everyone is entitled to humanity you would like think, but those who feed the wars and commit heinous crimes are devoid of any humanity themselves, interesting and well written write.

A noble poem with a noble message that we are far from reaching. As long as there is greed in mankind war and prisoners will exist. A wonderful poem

Hard to be military and be yourself. Little individuality there. A great write about being yourself

I think it is the most difficult thing for military person to deal with, being away from those they cherish. They are trained for everything else but not that, must be a wonderful feeling when they return to those welcome arms. Enjoyed the read.

The View from Coal Country

Since I’ve actually seen war, I understand how lesser men sit in their protected places and criticize those of us who provide that protection.

Bumped into you on the poetic parade today.
And despite my misgivings (I\'m anti war and your photo isn\'t encouraging) decided to take a closer look anyway.
Of all your poems I read, I\'d vote for this one, I think.
Good stuff.
