CONCORDANCE.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

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.

        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.

        • Fay Slimm.

          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 !

            Love is there for us all but many just cannot see it.
            The Hippies had it right "Make love, not war"

            • Fay Slimm.

              Very true that love is there for us all to see its value dear Goldie - thank you for the kind comment.
