Spin Me
I have lost all sense of direction
East is moving West
The world is upside down
Spin me around and
Point me toward peace
Poetics: Poetry Is For The Birds

~
the congregation sits in silence
humble prayers take flight as
wisps of smoke
bouquets of daffodils adorned
with skeins of ribbon
the only light amid the
tidings of unkindness
there is no ostentatious orator
with brooding words of deceit
only murmurations of hope
for peace
Sending positive, peaceful thoughts to all of our followers.
Thank you for your interest and support as we continue to collaborate.

Peace of nature welcoming

Overcast
Darkness is a veil
Masking moonbeams
Casting shadows over
Rays of hope
Reach deep
Light is more powerful
Than shadows of doubt passing
Reach deep
And peace will overcome

Here we are in our tenth week of “Collaboration for Peace”!
Be sure to check out Mish’s blog at mishunderstood
We hope you have enjoyed a peaceful Sunday.
Adrift
We cannot see further
Than each step that we take
Hearts are obscured
By the choices we make
We muddle our minds
With things that don’t matter
Set adrift in the storm
Broken and battered
Searching for peace
In faraway lands
When peace is a power
That rests in our hands
Bastet is schooling us on the Ode today at B & Ps Shadorma & Beyond
~
Each night I lay upon my bed
and pray for peace throughout the land
a safe abode for those who fled
and for the dead
Believe the day will bring relief
from drought and famine in the world
from pestilence, disease, and grief
despair unfurled
And in my dreams through night I see
a light to banish all that’s dark
the hope shines out from you and me
we are the spark
We are the peace and hope and light
if we just try to understand
not close our eyes at neighbor’s plight
but lend a hand
Mish and I are happy to bring you another collaboration

Universal
We may not see
Scars and bruises
Heartaches hidden deep
Or know the twisted roots
Of troubled minds
Understanding takes time
But we can feel the rain
Of a thousand fears
Streaming down faces
In faraway places
We have never been
We can start here because
Tears are universal
(c) Mish
Mish and I have united with photography and poetry. These collaborations are a very small example of how perfect strangers can work together, be inspired by each other and share a passion for peace. This weeks poem is from the heart of Mish.

Life is delicate, intricate
Complicated, segregated
But one heart still beats
At the center of existence
One soul still strives
To be one with all
It’s Sunday (actually it’s Saturday but I’m traveling all day Sunday and won’t be able to post) which means another Collaboration For Peace! Mishand I are happy to share our creations and hope that they can inspire you in some small way.

Peace Comes
peace comes not from inky
words on paper
or notes sung by choirs of angels
it comes instead when two souls
reach across the gap of
their differences
to find commonality

i am the blue of nature
the orange of a sunrise
purple clouds at sunset
the crisp red of autumn
yellow sunflower petals
i am tumbled, jumbled
pieces – a kaleidoscope
ever changing, shifting,
being recreated
