Animal Rights, Spiritual and Inspirational poetry that touch the heart and soul, and provoke the mind.
Often lost
in our warp-speed culture
where adults are revved
by media hype
and children are
constantly overstimulated
is the soft ambience –
the deep soothing feeling –
of the nativity scene
where the focus of all
is on a sleeping infant,
where shepherds, animals,
and even kings
whisper,
and move very quietly,
where each living being
is drawn out of themselves
to concentrate on others,
to absorb the meaning
of a wondrous gift,
to embrace
and become embraced
by the gentlest sense
of
peace,
joy,
and love.
