In the beginning
a world created
“it was good”
*
slander, hate, murder
light of perfection turned off
dark haze
*
silent words believed
held close to the heart
centuries old
*
written in stone
read in eyes young and old
carried by a wave
*
hands of time
seasons move along
many share a dream
*
Dr. King was a visionary who saw the world the way God had created it. Men were brothers with each other; there was no enmity. King had a dream to see wrongs righted. We celebrate this great man whose vision was given by God.

We certainly need more visionaries! Today I’d have difficulties giving the name of one.

Many share a dream, indeed, and here I see how it fits into the entire history of the world with King as the fulcrum and hero.

May Martin Luther King’s dream live on! We DO need more visionaries such as King.

I like the thoughts of this one and have been toynig with it in my head for a while, coming up with this variation. Wondering if it makes any sense to the reader. I have been thinking I like the dormancy idea rather than dying or dead. Wisps of acrid smokeRise with flecks of ambersFade to dormancy

Sadly…I think of the Paul Simon tune when I think about where we have come in so many years…after the dream was proposed….just a train in the distance.
