THEME ON ANGELS

Now is the time for Angels to come to Earth.
Time for Angels to heal the planet...
bringing love and kindness to the hearts of humans.
Now is the time for bands of Angels to rally and stabilize the energy of the Universe
Now is the time for Peace.
Angels are in America...The time is now!
The plague is here...
The plague of intolerance and hate.
The homeless are everywhere
Children kill each other, Shoot up with cocaine.
Angels are in America ...The time is now!
The plague is here...
The plague of AIDS
Blood is upon the land, runs down the mountain in a river to the sea.
Angels are in America...The time is now!
They come to speak of tolerance and unity.
We are all one ...Children of the Creator
Black, Brown, White.
Angels are in America...The time is now!
They are on the horizon singing songs of love...
The land is lush
The river runs clear
Angels are in America ...The time is now!
Now is the time of forgiveness
A time for sweet harmony
Angels walk the land...
Talk with the Angels, Claim your heritage.
Touch - Reach out - Feel the joy - Embrace one another.
Time is short - The time is now!

THE HUMANITY OF POETRY

We humans never learn.
We have been killing each other since day two.
For centuries we have been seeking compassion,
empathy, understanding and unconditional love.
When will we humans finally obtain what we seek?
The world is in need of harmony.
Poets through their poetry envelope the world with love.
Poetry builds bridges between diverse cultures.
Poetry offers a map for peace.
Our planet is engulfed with negative energy because of hate.

The language of poetry can soften the hard realities of life.
Poetry shows that love unites.
Hate destroys.

PEACE

Peace is not just a lack of war
Peace is a child's laughter
A deer grazing in the meadow
The sound of a meadowlark singing,
The smell of fresh baked bread,
A glorious sunset
The sound of rain on the roof
and oh
So much more

THE ARTS

The arts are the fire that liberates the soul.
The arts speak truth without fear.
The arts fill the soul with beauty.
The arts stimulate scientific discovery.
The arts are the backbone of humanity.
Poets are Ambassadors at Large.
Spreading positive energy, love and understanding,
One poem at a time.

CALIFORNIA IS BURNING

Lightning lights up the sky
Comes to earth in a zig zag of fire
Grass and tree smolder, erupt into flames
The forest is ablaze
Thick smoke clogs the air
Flames roar down the mountains to the sea
Creatures run, people flee
California is burning.
 
There are fire fighters from everywhere
Caustic smoke fills their lungs, burns throats
Eyes sting, fill with tears
They shovel dirt on the flames
Dig trenches and set back fires
Helicopters drop water bombs
California is burning.
 
The forest burst into flames
Trees crash to earth in a shower of orange
Birds are silent, smoke obliterates the sun
Houses and life treasures are destroyed
The heat is intense, rock shatter t
Lakes and rivers are covered in ash
The sky is dark, oppressive
Smoke engulfs the soul of man
California is burning
 
California will survive 
Her people are hardy
They will plant and build
Trees will rise from the earth
Wild flowers will bloom
Green grass will cover the earth
Birds will sing and creatures return
California will rise again
