Shadows of Peace--By Michael J. Falotico--United States

Shadows of Peace

Inside a tear a whole world rains...
The view is blurry but the image stains...
The sunlight is faded and far from sight...
A star behind the moon that still shines bright...
Weathering days into the shadows of peace...
Passing over epiphany and confusion that sure does tease...
Outside a tear a world is hidden...
Where sadness disappears and hearts are forgiven...

Michael J. Falotico describes poetry as a way to express his feelings about life. He has been writing for the past 3 1/2 years and is currently working on his third book of poetry. He has published two books of poetry already called A Walk Though Time and A Road Still Driven. He resides in Westchester, NY. His poetry is an extension of his life and road to peace and tranquility.

    Welcome to the site, Michael! I love the way you describe the inside of the tear as a place that is passing away as you approach eternal life. My favorite lines were: Outside a tear a world is hidden...Where sadness disappears and hearts are forgiven...This is just how I imagine heaven to be. Excellent work, my friend. Love, Carolyn.
