About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
CHARLIE CHAPLIN
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt: You can have the universe if I can have....... Write about what you would like to have in your Blog entry today.
------
No way am I stepping foot out into the universe! In the first place. Isn't earth bad enough? Eat your heart out, Captain Kirk and all the ETs!
Yet, as much as I've been carping about the negatives on this planet, I have an ultimate distant dream, which I probably mentioned many times before. I wish people could coexist peacefully, without conflicts and war in our world, the earth.
Just imagine a place where we could prioritize understanding and compassion over hatred and division. That would be pretty amazing, right? This planet, our earth, could be a place where borders are just lines on a map, where people from different cultures and backgrounds come together in harmony, embracing their differences and celebrating their similarities.
When and if that happens, imagine all the wonderful things we could achieve if we didn't have to spend this much time and energy on conflicts. We could further our education, healthcare, and our other important needs, so we could improve the quality of life for everyone. There would be no worries or revenge-taking by anyone since we would instead foster dialogue, understanding, justice, and equality.
I could probably come up with some ideas and urging for the world peace so every one can take action toward it, but this has been done by better people than me, many times over, and unfortunately, to no avail! So, at this point, I am going to keep on wishing for a reality that all of us human beings can enjoy, and I hope, at least, this wish for world peace can gain more than a few allies.
