A Silent Beauty - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins

A silent beauty

A Lightness carried within

Unseen,  felt deeply

Note:  I wrote this poem in the haiku style of poetry a few days ago and published it for the first time today, the 6th of February, 2025.  The words came to me in a quiet moment.

Be At Peace - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

Be at peace and be assured that no one, nowhere can possibly put an end to this collective dream of Mankind.  Be not deceived and know deep within yourselves that your efforts were a loving gift to future generations.  A gift of freedom given freely that will one day be appreciated and cherished and will live within the human heart.

No More Will Tyrants Rule So Effectively - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

Their accumulated wealth will mean nothing to those who starve not just for clean food and water, but starve for the freedom to express their humanity and goodness without fear of reprisals.  It is sad that it will come to this, but people will learn from this and will no longer be so easily deceived by these few who do ill intent and twist and turn and change laws to imprison the last voices of reason and love.  These men will be judged by God as well as their citizens and no more will tyrants rule so effectively.

Vision - A Poem by A.G.W

 Vision

I trod the whole world over,

I traveled every road.

I only sought an answer,

I could not bear my load.

I wandered many forests,

Past marked and unmarked graves.

I passed by lonely mountains,

And seas of restless waves.

I reached at last a lonely place,

And weary fell upon my face.

A place, like me, forgotten and unkept

And there my heart broke and I wept.

And in that place to which I'd wandered

The stony earth was torn asunder

The sky above me broke and thundered

And I gazed on in fear and wonder.

I raised my voice and wept with grief,

Put my lament before God's throne.

For He was not within the storm.

And I was standing still alone.

The sky above me burned with flame,

Beneath my feet the earth did shake.

Waves rose beyond a mountain's height,

The stones around me fell and brake.

I raised my voice and wept with grief,

Put my lament before God's throne.

For He was not within the storm,

And I was standing still alone.

Hail and fire rained on the earth, 

The greatest of the mountains fell,

Above my head stood heaven's hosts,

Beneath my feet- the depths of hell.

I raised my voice and wept with grief,

Put my lament before God's throne.

For He was not within the storm, 

And I was standing still alone.

And then the softest gentle breath

Across my tear streaked face was blown.

And He was in that quiet breath,

And I stood - no more alone.
