My heart weeps and my
soul cries out for the children…
When
the children suffer so do we. This poem is about the suffering of all the
children especially those in war-torn countries. Although, some may believe
that suffering of the world is due to evil forces, I believe that it has
unfolded due to the lack of love in the world. It starts with us!
In
the poem I use the Divine Mother, who is within us all, metaphorically, as she
appears as divine cloak of protection for the children and descends to earth to
shield, comfort and lead some home. This poem has been one of the hardest poems
I've ever had to write. It has opened up a deep portal inside of me that has lay
dormant for years, and led to the healing of the loneliness of my inner child.
I
have learned that the world doesn't need to be saved; it needs to be loved.
That love is within us all. As Mothers, we must all teach our children to love
and respect themselves and others. We must all stand for peace, seek truth,
embrace all humanity and become ambassadors of love. It is love that births
peace, balance and harmony. May the world ascend to this vision!
Ascending
As
an Entity of light,
I
descend into the physical realm
weaving
in and out of portals
To
gather the souls
of
the beloved children-
under
my wings of
love
and protection.
I
shield them
in
the bliss of forgetfulness
from
the wounds of war and deception.
Long
gone are the days
of
light filled eyes,
gentle
demeanors,
and
innocent playfulness.
As
I look into their stoic eyes,
they
seem not to comprehend
the
darkness of humanity.
Departing
a world
that
has fallen asleep-
for
as they suffer,
so
do we.
One
by one the children ascend
the
stairway into the realm of unity.
Where
eternal thoughts
are
woven into
an
embodiment of love-
For
as we ascend,
so
shall they.
Sonja Marie Phillips- Hollie: I was born in the Windy City of Chicago but now reside in Texas. I have a degree in Spanish and have worked as a bilingual translator, supervisor and Data Analyst for Student Life Programs on campus. One of my life passions has been acting as a counselor and mentor for at risk high school students. I enjoy reading and writing poetry, dancing and hope to one day write my first novel. I am a blend of many different ethnicities, and embrace them all! I also have a fascination with Egypt: a theme that often appears in my poems. I'm a mother of three beautiful daughters. My hope is that my poetry touches someone’s heart, comforts the lonely, or redeems a lost soul.
