Messenger of Peace - Karen Noles

a messenger of peace

the winds blew her softlyÂ to me

her wings a flutter ofÂ faith

sheÂ singsÂ a songÂ of purity

landing in my heart

when faith had all but ceased

a dove of white hope

became my messenger of peace

Thanks for sharing this with us in Artistic Therapy Priya!

Tell everyone here in the Group -- Is there a time limit on when to respond with the 50 words or less in response to this?

Priya P. Jun 1, 2012, 7:42pm UTC

Rene, I would so love to read something from you about this picture. time limit, to writing... NEVER! this is a casual group, even if I post another prompt, I will still look forward to responses to any prompt I write. Thank you so much for searching out my new group. I'm still designing it, so havent even announced the group. I was so shocked and happy to see you join. I'm so behind but look forward to starting that group :)

Lovely poem and choice of image, Priya.

JOHN BECK Jun 1, 2012, 7:55am UTC

I wrote one, not thinking of the word count. It was 137 words! I'll start from scratch if I find time.

Priya P. Jun 1, 2012, 7:45pm UTC

dont every worry about the word count, i dont even count my own!!!! I'm going to hunt for it now. Finally getting a moment to breath....

JOHN BECK Jun 1, 2012, 9:58pm UTC

No, don't hunt for it. I erased it and never posted it. I'll try to get around to writing and posting one, though.

Nicely done; you matched the picture perfectly.

Thanks for sharing with The Triple Name Club.

Had to come back and read it again. I think this needs to be featured on the Wall of Peace on The Triple Name Club.

How beautiful. I will work on this one.
Again, I relate to your words and a messenger of peace.

Priya P. Jun 2, 2012, 1:35pm UTC

Sometimes Carol, when you respond to me, not just the words I write but to me, I feel you too are a messenger of peace. Wouldn't that be nice if we could all be that for someone in need.
