Glimmer

SKYWATCH

GLIMMER

Suburbia fades into a blur,

With all it's jagged edges;

The garbage-bins, the garden-gates,

The roof-tops and the hedges.

The hills, a backdrop during day,

Now form a looming mural,

And the bricks-and-mortar ugliness

Is magicked into rural.

Just for a second, radiance 

Transforms an average place

Into a thing of beauty

With a smile upon its face.

UNITED NATIONS 

(An Acrostic)

Unless we all can live as one

No ravages can be undone.

If we cannot be united,

The wrongs we've done cannot be righted!

Every nation must pull its weight

Determining our future fate.

*

No 'Committee' can be perfection;

At least we can aim in the right direction.

This world just cannot stay fragmented;

Its present state must be lamented.

Outwardly we're not the same;

Name doesn't correspond with name.

Skins may differ, but not hearts!

Let's make a sum of our different parts!
