A Light on our Path

                                                 the stillness of the rising sun

                                                a light on our path

                                                 showing the way into the day

                                                tall trees with fulsome branches

                                                hanging clumps of leaves

                                                lightly rustling in the morning breeze

                                                a horse standing quietly

                                                listening to the murmurings 

                                                of hens slowly waking to the day 

                                                oh let us rejoice and go forth..... 

 

 

I have been pondering whether to post this piece I wrote this morning with the last line...

There is so much horror and sadness  in various parts of the world  and we are so fortunate to live in a reasonably organized and peaceful country.

 I have been reading some of the histories of the Middle East and India and China, those peoples seem not to have learned a thing, slaughtering each other with ever increasing effective weapons since history was first recorded.......

Well, this bit of poetry may well bring some joy to someone somewhere....
