#MicroPoetry|July ’17 Verses

Every month I tweet #MicroPoetry! In 140 characters, they are part prayer, thought, reflection, challenge or something in-between. I look forward to sharing them with you and hope that they may lead to reflection, musing and perhaps even discussion!

Alone
wind bends
water shapes
fire devours
stone breaks
In trust
vulnerability reveals
questions shared
alone enigmas
together we awaken


Inspired by collective tenacity …

In independence’s narrative
we are divorced from one another
Yet in connectivity’s promise
balance of one reflects
the anchor of the Many


Inspired by balance improbable …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
Be wide-eyed
as Now unfolds
Be questioning’s joy
assumptions interrogating
Be curious children
too often forgotten


Inspired by questions insatiable …

Control
an illusive Chimera
ever attention feasting
distracting liberation’s intention
With step brave
hands healing held
may we so dispel


Inspired by letting go …

It may be truth
offered freely to others
but upon one’s own ears
it hollow seems
trite even
yet listen
truly
“You are Beloved”
#SoMayWeBe


Inspired by seeing oneself as Beloved …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
With friends & family
often
we gather
Yet in distractions
of the bustle & hustle
when last did
ourselves
we visit?


Inspired by a gentle conversation with myself …

Brick by brick
edifices we build
walled from me
from you
So arise dear friends
ever so gently
carefully chip
until tenderly
heart we share


Inspired by one less brick in the wall …

Compassion Calls
Compassion Calls
Sun-ward Reach
Sun-ward Reach
Reality so Reflects
Reality so Reflects

Moments Tender
Moments Tender
Heart We Share
Heart We Share
Flourish
Flourish

This moment
as was that one
the Sacred hovers
awaiting
anticipating
awakening
For in this Now
whether tears or fears
choice compassion calls


Inspired by hovering anticipation between each ring …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
From smallest
life unfolds
stretching
inching
breathing
In tumult & challenge
tenacious yet fragile
sun-ward we reach


Inspired by shoots light ward reaching …

Now’s attachment
discordant dissonance distracts
as harmony wholeness hearkens
Slip free
breaking binding bounds
so all shall so flourish


Inspired by boundaries freely slipped …

’tis an adventure
this coil ever unfolding
from there to here
back once more
whether inward or outward
upon what we gaze
reality so reflects


Inspired by direction’s gaze …

Good morning #Winnipeg
Not division’s lines
do we so relationship build
In soul’s laugh
tears bled
moments tender care
do we one another see


Inspired by relationships nurtured …

Anchor of the Many
Anchor of the Many
Together We Awaken
Together We Awaken
Be Wide-Eyes
Be Wide-Eyes

Thanks For Visiting
Thanks For Visiting
Be Brave
Be Brave
"You are Beloved"
“You are Beloved”
