My first poetry post! "An idealist to the world"

An Idealist to the World-
Citizens & All

There is so much I wish for all.

For all you wounded- how did it happen?-
I wish for the phoenix to cry into
a rain cloud
before a storm.

For all you hopeless,
I hope you glimpse a corner of heaven.

For all you who missed opportunities-
I hope you see the eyes of those
shining in front of you now.

For all you misunderstood,
I hope your tongue
learns more than words
and our ears
hear more than sounds.

For all you war masters,
I hope you feel the beautiful,
tearing, transcendent, terrible
Empathy.

For all you meek,
I hope you find the strength
to turn your home into a
Kingdom of Heaven.

For all who love money,
I hope someday you sit
on the ground and notice
the priceless particles of your breath,
the gold of the stars no one may mine.

For all you afraid,
I hope you are sheltered under
the iron daisy of peace.

For all you innocent,
I hope no one ever again
kills a mockingbird.

For all you citizens of the earth,
I hope souls reign over darkness,
flowers reign over scissors
and a smile reigns over all.



******The spacing is usually much cooler. I'd love some advice and opinions! Thanks!******

the priceless particles of your breath,
the gold of the stars no one may mine.
