[hometext] => I actually like this one... I hope you do too.
[bodytext] => She sits quietly at the gazing pool
Reflections on the water so painful to bare She wraps snowy wings 'round her chilled body As a gentle breeze tosses her silvery hair Unnoticed by her is her perch Made of cold and unforgiving stone She's hypnotized by the visions on the water Which make her feel vulnerable and alone For each scene that plays across the waters surface Is a glimpse into the present and the past She's struggling valiantly to maintain hope But against these images, that hope won't last Concentration camps and racial cleansing Brought to life by a twisted soul This reflection causes her great distress For humanity paid a heavy toll The plague of AIDS across Africa The number of children who will die This scene causes her intense sorrow And she blinks a tear from her eye Depiction's of burning towers in September The bombing and terror in Bali She tastes mans confusion, hatred and pain Fueled by retribution, they start to rally Starvation for the poor in Asia She sees thin bodies and hungry eyes Wrapping her wings 'round herself tighter She lowers her head to her hands and cries Humanities hatred for one another Is clear on the water to see Citing cultural beliefs, each side feeling superior They reject the Angels agonized silent plea The trees surrounding the gazing pool Begin to sway and creak with the wind They whisper to the Angel of a secret That humanity will continue to sin Far off in the distance A quiet call from her Father is heard "Come now, my child - there is much to be done." She now walks the earth to spread His word In the quiet shadows of the forrest Seated on the bench by the gazing pool Forrest creatures and woodland nymphs watch in wonder The reflection of the future is being changed by Gods tool.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
