CREATIVE CORNER

The Earth is the Lord’s

by Alan Fisher

The Kingdom of God and the kingdom of Man They were meant to go together hand in hand There’s such a thin veil separating the two We just have to receive it and let it come through

To deny life is to deny your own existence You can’t defeat it, no matter your persistence Those who live by the sword will die in that manner No matter the cause proclaimed on their banner

Just be still and thankful and totally present Let your peace and love make others feel pleasant It may not seem much, but it has great power Remember, the earth is run by just sun, wind and shower

For submissions: Send your poem (150 words or less) to editor@ lifestylesafter50.com with the words “Creative Corner” in the subject line.
