American Just starting to write poetry again after many years that it has escaped me. Please give your feedback.
As the sun slowly rises from the East and spreads its glow over the Earth Birds sing Flowers bloom And children laugh While I once believed The sun would not shine, The darkness would not fade, And the Earth would stay cold, The Truth remained. The light will always shine, Even if blocked by the darkest cloud It is still there One just has to search harder Never forget this simple truth

The Light
The world is in such a state of disarray. People hate each other, **** for sport, and burn words of anger and envy into the hearts of their neighbors. Countries drop bombs, **** women, **** children. Why? We all ask. It does not start at this scale. It starts in the hearts and minds of each one of us. It starts in our households, our neighborhoods, and our communities. A collaboration of the vibration from each one of these communities shows its ugliness and we all ask why? We must, as a humanity, purify our own minds and our own hearts. Love your neighbor. Love your enemy. Not for what they have done to you, but for what has been done to them. The only reason someone hates is because they have felt the stinging pain of someone else's hatred. The only reason they do not love is because they have not felt the natural warmth and transcendent power of love. So, love your neighbor, love your enemy, and slowly our hearts, then our communities, then our countries, and eventually the world will begin to change. Each thought and vibration of energy is like a stone caste into a lake. The ripple starts small, but can cause waves on the other shore. So throw beautiful stones and leave the ugly ones to rest.

The Earth's Consequence
My world slowly fades to black All I have known, lost All the love I shared, gone All the times I cared, no more The past slowly becomes a fading light A raging chasm of blackness Memories melt into dreams and old feelings are wisped away in the afternoon breeze The winter is coming and the sky tightens its grip The snow ready to blanket the earth But, just like every year the spring will come The warmth of the sun radiating its light to thaw the damp earth The spring will bring new warmth and... New hope The world will once again fade back to light

Fade
You once were The love of my life The other half of my heart I gave my whole self to you Now here I am broken and abandoned You once were A shining light in the world At least my mind's eye My world Now you left me with half of my world You moved on And I will too Because the image you once were Is poisoned and cold You once were Light and warmth Now you are cold and dark You once were And now I Am
