Comment from Caressa_08
War is not the answer, though countries fail to see that, time after time. Sometimes, it is necessary for independence to reign...Though in the long run, it just produces more hate from those that were or weren't on those battlefields, especially those who lost many and see that they are right in their doctrine...Satan is the culprit, and leaders who think they are God may kill many though in the long run because of their intense hate..and being mere mortals... they die too. Though, too, retaliation by repeating killings of an opposing enemy to get even, in my opinion, is the wrong thing to do...And does forever rekindle more wars. it seems to continue, a vicious cycle and, too...more children are born...these soldiers of the future
I did so like your poem, Thanks for sharing...Caressa_08

Hi Caressa....-smile-
I was in a "different" uniform...here. Real flesh and blood battling against the Spirit of human...born from God. So I would have to disagree that "war" is the answer here....if you want to win His head-nod of approval. "put on the whole armor of God"...love to you ...michael
Comment from write hand blue
A well presented poem with a picture showing two fingers touching. Parts of the poem seem to be taken from a prayer.
An interesting layout and coloured font. Unfortunately I hardly understand a word of it... ~Mel~

Well...Mel...lets start with the picture. it resides in the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome...painted by Michelangelo.
yes indeed, I learned "poetry" there....in the "Psalms".
that and my step Moms ever present Rod Mcquuen...probably spelled differently. Well, i'm sorry you didn't understand...and hope you do some day. love to you ...Michael

Thank you for the explanation... mel.

Hi Micheal, a truly haunting and brilliantly written poem, I read as you finding peace at last in the arms of God and that you sign off as his soldier, doubt if I am right but that was how I read it my friend.

Comment from Joan E.
Is this post for a contest--I did not receive a message about it--instead I noticed the poem on the FS front page. I particularly admired your memorable "poverty that births poetry of prayer" and your use of alliteration to intensify it, plus your signing off as "Your soldier". Cheers- Joan

I'm celebrating the holiday weekend with an MRI tomorrow. Hopefully, it will rule out some possible causes for additional leg pain and lead to better treatment. I hope you can get some needed rest and enjoy Monday's celebrations--maybe, even some fireworks. Take good care of yourself. Hugs- Joan

Many thanks for your good wishes. Have a serene Sunday. Hugs- Joan

I never know exactly how to review what you write, Michael, because I honestly don't always understand your poetry fully, but it is always a journey, always thought-provoking and always evocative. This is no different - powerful and elegant.

Hi
A very strong piece of writing. Strengthened even further by the last line: "signed Your soldier ... reconciled. I like your title. It brings in another aspect to the poem. Perfect song to match your own words. Marion.

Hi....
yea...its perfect. I knew as soon as I read it. I swear I had no idea of it...ah before....I'd came to the end...and there it was. I "almost" immediately knew it was meant for much "wider" than one. I really do appreciate you stopping by...-smile-....love to you....Michael

Comment from Sandisan
Very deep poem. The horrors of war trying to find God in the mix, the soldier
finally accepting whatever fate. Very good writing and very moving.

hi....-smile-
yea, I suppose...the deepest ocean this world knows.
is the souls of men. yes, indeed it can be difficult "finding" "world point of view" confirmation in a faith, very hard to explain, if you've none....of what some hold as "salvation"
but its not "accepting"....-headshake-...no way....its the "soldiering on" anyway even though. love to you Michael

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, I Am in me, is written in the unique language that I have only seen from you. The praise is quite clear here and so too the various phrases that bring us to biblical references. Nice reading.
