[hometext] => A poem about life, love, and god on a grand scale.
[bodytext] => Somewhere close, there are children going hungry. Somewhere, someone’s brother is shooting up again. Somewhere, someone is so much in love with their partner that they are crying at the thought of how blessed they are. Somewhere, someone just caught their hair on fire. And the tree dances on… Somewhere, water is building up to form an oasis for the first time in years. Somewhere, an eagle is snacking on a dachshund and his leash. Somewhere, someone is counting off numbers just to see how high they can go. Somewhere, someone is thanking God that cherries are in season in Chile right now. And the tree dances on… Somewhere, someone is wearing the same shirt as someone else. Somewhere, someone is painting the Mona Lisa to see what’s so great about it. Somewhere, the world’s most beautiful nocturne is being played on a piano with eighty-four working keys. Somewhere, some entity or force or power or circumstance that we call God is governing the balance of our lives. And the tree dances on… Be it a slight breeze or a force ten gale, at a time of war or a time of famine, with a recent death remembered, or a recent birth celebrated, be it an election or leap year, with loves being formed or broken, the clouds and seas are here, with God; the rains and the winds are here, with God. And the tree dances on… [comments] => 3 [counter] => 180 [topic] => 21 [informant] => butterat_zool [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

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. ©
