Daniel, I am a new reader of your enlightened, lovely poetry. Peace begets Peace', harmony overcomes hatred, and the arts assist. Thank you....Marianne Larsen Reninger

I appreciate your vision. I think it should be actualized! I have a girlfriend in the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra and they had a special performance of Bach's Mass in B Minor with the vocal arts ensemble. They opened their performance with a speech that Bernstein made after Kennedy's assassination: 'this will be our resply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before. In an interview, someone said that the attackers have never held a job or a girl's hand.... Your poem demonstrates the power of unity, love, collective soul, to heal and move forward. I'm glad you waited to write until you were ready. I'm saving this one. Your optimism inspires.

One of reasons why I always agreed with Shelley when he commented that imagination is the 'instrument of moral good' as opposed to Plato's ideas is because it can give us some relief, even if it is momentary, amidst a chaotic universe.. The world is falling apart - the centre can certainly not hold anything anymore - and amidst this hurly-burly and dæmonic life that we find ourselves into, art can give us piece.. Thank you Daniel.. May we all - humans - grow some sense into ourselves than hatred, biogotry and fear... Peace..

A great piece of poetry remembering those who have become victim of madness. Loved it.

Very laudable response indeed. The horrendous twisted attitude in response to the terrifyng massacre at Paris is most deplorable. Thank you very much for affirming arts of peace.10+ points.
