PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

we marvel in near unnatural awe

at the history torn

The Civil war dead now

some 147 years since

it was so crudely born

Since the first blood spillings

and consequent rage at

the likes of  Bull Run

to the ballot booths of that

same yet so very different Virginia

today

in her breath held night

this passed week

we cheered, cried and sung

and from those

once searing ashes soars

a man we love and voted for

to let him, out of such hate and woe

lead us to a better time

to live and prosper and

individually grow

filled with such great desire for peace, jobs, respect

and change

My dear, dear so beloved President-Elect-Obama

you have become all that we listen so intently for

the force of self and collective destiny

reaching out to each our front porch door

here is to you sir

a joyous salute and sincere prayer for

a wise and safe path to eight years with us

rather than four

our hats off and hands to our hearts for this

much needed arrival of you onto the World's floor

Our Whistler In The Storm

to help guide us out of this blinding

economic down pour.....................
