serene and scenic the river is peaceful
i dangle my toes into the water’s coolness
i know that today is for thinking of peace
i wonder
will there ever be peace in sudan

noh where 
Peace is like a river…and hope is a thing with feathers…
I do some of my best thinking by the river. It is my most trusted muse.
rel
yes, when all is good where we are, one can’t help but think of others in the world that do not have that, good reminder
Excellent write. Good question…hope lingers.
you ask a tough question there in the end…we live in a world that seems to repel peace…or maybe that is us…great take on the pic…
i was a musician years ago…smiles.
Brian I believe in once a musician alway a musician. I long for peace in this world. I know a great deal about war and it’s evil. But even today my husband calls me “his little warrior” because I am in his words at war with the world.
nice take on the prompt
the river
I think the hope is right around the corner.
Oh, that we would all ‘dangle our toes’ and think of peace … a nice take on the image!
soft and pondering – well done, laurie.
oops , i’m sorry – Raven
It is a very good question, that we all have the answer to, if we try.
And try we must.
I don’t know, but rivers always fill me with hope.
=)
peace!.. the most expensive thing on earth…
After air we need water. No wonder rivers are a place we gather and feel secure.
Love the poem and share the hope. I would say to Jj, that peace might be expensive, but here in the atomic age, we can no longer afford war.
Dangling toes and dreaming peace. If enough did that…. Nice poem.
The first just made me smile. I could see a painting coming out of this one. So vivid … we used to have hermit crabs and love them.
The Gogyohshi – Would that everyday was about peace of heart and Peace.
Nicely done.
