Just for once

Missing image
Just for once
I wish that all mankind
Could share the earth
With all creatures
Great and small

To live freely
And share in the beauty
That we were given
By the creator
Many moons ago

To walk tall
To feel loved by all
And not looked upon
As an enemy
But as a friend

To be as one with nature
To be together in harmony
To give without return
A feeling of hope
A feeling of serenity

To sit side by side
With any brother or sister
And speak with one voice
Praising the gift received
Of Mother Earth

In a list

    You are my kind of person. I love nature to the fullest. Animals i adore. This is one wonderful poem that reaches to the heart and sings. I can almost hear a tune playing in the background while i read this. It must be nature keeping rhythm with your thoughts. Fantastic read.

    A vision of peace and harmony where the only tears shed would be in happiness. I look forward to it becoming a reality

    it would be a day to remember
    if those around would take this to heart...and maybe this world for once would be appreciated!
    Keep penning on one stroke at a time!

    we all wish for this I think so the question then comes to mind; if we all wish it, why does it not happen?

    To share and praise in adoration
    without the grip of stangulation
    but hearts holding each life one
    with pulse of joy, in timeless sun

    embracing life and one another
    in sustenance, both sister, brother
    bear witness of the lion, lamb
    harmonious in the Great I AM.


    I love your poem, Mike. Each new morning is a gift.

    Hello.

    Touching words, that speak of much. Respecting ourselves, as well as everything else, as well as showing a deep love of nature, and I didn’t just get that from your words, or the grass background, hahaha. You write of a dream many of us share, although it appears that this dream is waiting for people to wake up and actually make it. Congratulations on your gold, and my regards.

    beautiful message you've versed here Mikey...
    I share these sentiments...I think I would add that I wish people could be happy with what they have instead of wondering about the grass on the other side...

    well deserved gold

      years of wishing are always worth the wait. It is when we can continue to dream and wish for their coming true that makes it worthwhle.

    Awesome

    Wow, really great poem! We need to strive to be better people. This is a really "real" piece, and it had a great strength to it... especially the "And speak with one voice" line in the last stanza. That was great Keep it up!!!

    If only... someday this may come about, Mike and in the meantime we need to all pull together, do what needs to be done.

    An inspiring poem and something to seriously think upon.
    Very deserving of the Gold trophy it brought you

      Thanks Dee

      One of my thinking mood poems. I sit in silence and work my thoughts to the page.
      I'm really pleased you liked it.

      The Gold was a complete bonus tho.

    Ahhh what a wonderful thing it would be if life were really this way. Beauty and harmony all around, No wars, no famine, no arguments……It would be something we could all dream about and wish to come true. Maybe, just maybe, one day it could happen.
    Beautifully written Mike.
