How many storms in the desert <br />Can be found in the words that we write? <br />When others are lost and feeling lonely, <br />Have we sent them our songs in the night? <br /> <br />Which of us have so encouraged, <br />Another to forget doing harm? <br />Or even to trade their indifference, <br />For a warning to spread an alarm. <br /> <br />How many hearts have we pricked then, <br />As a rose in it's splendor may do, <br />With tears that we shed for our loved ones, <br />And have others then sharing them too? <br /> <br />How many Knights does a king need <br />To champion the cause of peace? <br />I think for certain it begins with poets. <br />Who share their love and own beliefs.<br /><br />Robert Edgar Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/storms-in-the-desert/
