In Stillness

I’ve laid down my pack
and loosened the laces
on my hiking boots
I will sit for a while
admire the mountains I’ve
yet to climb
I will inhale the clean air
and listen for the small
stirrings of creatures
nearby
watch for the
aerial performance of
hawks in the blue sky
I will feel the warm breeze
as it passes me, hurrying off
to the valley below
I will stay here a while
in stillness – waiting
until peace joins me
then I will move on

I Choose Tolerance

Because hate has

No substance

Nothing to offer

I wouldn’t hire hate

I wouldn’t marry hate

I wouldn’t even hang out

With hate

Hate is hollow

                                                      What would I do with hollow?

My Peace

 

I look up

Into the treetops

Where silence is

Broken only by the

Song of the lark

And clouds whisperings

Blue embraces me in

Shades of sapphire

And indigo

This is my peace

Out on a Limb

Hearts begin beating

With innocence

Untainted and pure

Helpless they long to be

Loved and nourished

Expecting nothing more

Than other hearts
To improvise
Join in, synchronized

To their sweet song

Contrails

We leave a trail
as we pass through
the atmosphere
of each day
The vapors of each
word and action
follow us –
heavy, dark lines
of unkindness
airy stripes of
peace and love
that show our
true direction

Mish and I are hoping your day is filled with peace and poetry

Covered in Poems

The world is covered in an ocean of poems
That ride in and out with the current(affairs)
They are a tsunami of emotion

A tidal wave of rebellion
We splash and play in the surf of words
And picnic on beaches of smooth syllables

We wiggle our toes in trickles of rhyme
And bathe ourselves in cool rhythms
We are tugged by the undertow of language

Until we’re drowned in a wave of love letters
