Burning for Sweet Silence

Here we are in this space
Continuum beyond sound...
Called silence,
Shed the violence,
No more can innocence die trying
To fight for what can never be won...
When again will we see the golden sun?
Our blood is on the ground now.
Stains the soil,
Stains our hearts a darker shade of red.
We turn a deadly shade of blue
In the shadow of revenge,
So much despise we construe.

Oh how the sight brings tears to
The eyes of a child,
Who knows not why these men and women
Have died fighting;
Who knows not why the last time
She saw her father, he was crying.

A yearning for a world in peace tugs
On the strings that hold our hearts together.
A burning to live in a sweet silence,
In the absence of fear,
Where the blood of another does not penetrate our own wounds,
Where love, not hate lives on forever.
So so sad what our children have to see today...in real life.

We yearn for peace and silence to surround us.

a very honest portrayal of your feelings. thanks for sharing this laura.

a subject not easily solvable. Extremely touchy and multi-layered... only because people refuse to overlook their ignorance.
