I hear the shots, bang, bang, bang!!!
I hear the cries of despair
I taste the salty tears falling from my eyes,
Instinctively knowing…
Another mother ‘s son has fallen today
Such a rainy, gloomy day…
Through my teary, blurred vision
I see the orchards in bloom;
Such vibrant colors,
So mystically beautiful
So miraculously peaceful
I suck a sweet honeysuckle,
arousing my senses…
mouthwatering, leaving me wanting more…
such sensuous fragrance…
Tempting me to lie down in the grass
Until late afternoon
To bathe in the warm rain,
and listen to its rhythm so perfectly peaceful;,
no man can compose the rain symphony
And in this bounty of priceless love gifts,
Among the anquish of senseless violence and destruction..
Stands a single red velvet rose. . .
Creation among Destruction…
I look up to see an expectant mother
Hurriedly being pushed into an ambulance
Instinctively, I know she will soon hold
The joy of her life…
And I wonder…
How can we deny unconditional love
When even in the mist of chaos…
Perfection evolves, and Love endures?

This is wonderful. I again remembered after reading this that life is really very beautiful. Thanks so much!
I am reminded of the devastating fire that destroyed acres in Yellowstone National forest. It ended up being very loving to the forest, for there was much undergrowth and diseased trees. The fires cleared out the brush and weak trees and was exactly what the seeds needed to take root. It is healthier today then it has ever been.
It would help us considerably if we understood that even senseless destruction has a reason, a cause, that if we cared to look at it in depth, we would find it is not senseless at all. But an effect of our senseless beliefs and senseless society.
Perfection in chaos. This is really beautiful, Cordie. Love it. Thanks for sharing it. I love the vision of the rose, creation, happening amidst the destruction in chaos. As I like to say, and as sits in my heart, the world is a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing the journey. You’re beautiful.
You have captured the beauty and love in the midst of destruction. You are truly a beautiful soul who I am so grateful to know.
