Be Still
Wars, conflict, loss, but be still and find Him.15 total reviews
Comment from Virginia L. Cuddihy
How well you describe the madness of war. Each stanza is moving from the broader stage to the personal stage of a father and child. Your poem is powerful and a reminder how important it is to be still and listen to the voice that is often missed.

Comment from Paul McFarland
I wonder how many of us are writing poems about the conflict in Ukraine. It is on my mind constantly. I am even starting to dream about it. Last night In dreamed that Putin used a nuclear bomb.

War is such a sad and unnecessary situation. All it is about is one person not getting his way; somewhat like a colossal temper tantrum. If all the countries would learn to love one another this could be a marvelous world. Your poem is inspirational.

Comment from Carlos' girl
Nice tribute to God in the midst of the war. I don't know if its easier said then done though its a worthwhile thought. The poem suggests that you yourself are a Ukrainian actually living there in the first person narrative. Are you?
