Concordance.
To awake
in a quiet corner of peace and stare
at rich friendship meeting needs
is so gratifying
for reality can end in what dreams
begot of notions to share
as concordance shows.
To awake
in a hateful place of disabling war
where defiling fear strips life
of beauty and stasis
cringing behind abuse is making
disdain worse than before
as contention shows.
To awake
in a world of learnt awareness asks
that bones be allowed to grow
naturally old and souls
carefully nurtured is belief in
love being first factor
as cordiality shows.

My dear Fay,
This is exactly the poem that should be read by everyone...especially during these most difficult times!
The last stanza truly sums it up!

Ditto Laura's comments - a lovely work.
Thank you for the read and comment dear Michael - - the piece was written as a reminder that love works best.
Love is a lesson which continues to teach us. So long as we have an open mind we can hear it's teaching.
Many, many minds are closed to these things and war/terrorism/violence continues.
Love your three verses of awakening awareness.
I do so agree that many are closed to reasoning on love dear D.A. - so pleased you the enjoyed the three verses of encouragement to make love and not war.
HELLO FAY ~ Thanks for thought provoking Poem based on Three Words. Brian & I both love WORDS.
CONCORDANCE = Agreement on correct order
CONTENTION = Disagreement : Do your own thing !
CORDIALITY = Agreement and Harmony is restored !
