#MicroPoetry|April ’18 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!

Know that Light’s dawning
invites
calls
whispers
to us all
Look up
see shadowed horizon dissolve
& know
in this eternal moment
Love we are


Inspired by Easter’s eternal arrival …

Not attainment
nor completion
perfection realised
In the doing
the failing
the learning
wisdom dawns
patience blooms
& wholeness fulfilled


Inspired by perfection’s unfolding paradox …

How we choose
to be
determines how others
choose to be to us
As mirror intention reflects
that which we nurture
shall be what we create


Inspired by reflection’s wisdom …

Not in moments grand
when glitter & glam gleam
It is in unspoken
unrecorded
unnoticed
choices
that character built
prepares leaders called


Inspired by choices that character builds …

For this we were shaped & moulded
For this to be
threaded harmony
we must be
To create
collaboratively
cooperatively
we are wonderfully made


Inspired by creativity’s ability to connect us …

Soul’s growth
cannot be cajoled
nor
Spirit’s awakening
forced
It is in awareness’ dawning
that ego’s dissolution
begins
when we drop it away


Inspired by knowing when to know to let go …

From bondage’s illusion
to freedom’s embrace
we journey
In solidarity chosen
isolated no more
light beckons us
to liberation’s emancipation


Inspired by our shared journey toward liberation …

In Paradox
In Paradox
Radically Giving
Radically Giving
Emancipation
Emancipation

Life's Unfolding
Life’s Unfolding
Dreams
Dreams
She Dances
She Dances

We are each trove’s treasure
gifts precious
value immeasurable
In a world hoarding
interest accruing
we are most rich
when radically giving


Inspired by giving with abandon …

Wisdom
treasure dependent
not upon wealth
nor information’s hoarding
In moments of wonder
surprise
loss
joy
She dances
revealing One in All


Inspired by serendipity’s power to wisdom reveal …

Growth & safety
dance
divide
glide & slide
Sometimes failing reveals growing
other times reflecting awakens wisdom
In paradox
they propel us


Inspired by paradox’ ability to nurture our journey …

It does not
dwell without
Gifts & garb
adorn as pale reflections
Within each of us
happiness lies
beckoning
joy’s choice
in life’s unfolding


Inspired by smiles blooming in the midst of celebration & loss …

Dreams are paradox
what we imagine future might be
yet unrequited wisps remain
Dreams
caringly curated
amidst failure’s teaching
reality be


Inspired by recognising fear and still dreams pursued …

Intention Reflects
Intention Reflects
Wonderfully Made
Wonderfully Made
Wholeness Fulfilled
Wholeness Fulfilled

Leaders Called
Leaders Called
Love We Are
Love We Are
Soul's Growth
Soul’s Growth
