#MicroPoetry|February ’20 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!

There is one path
some see as challenging
others as possibility
Upon life’s unfolding vista
how we frame the landscape
shapes horizon spied


Inspired by the road intentionally travelled …

The reward
unbinds limitations
releases energy’s potential
awakens justice’ call
& compassion’s demand
Take a moment
listen
What do we hear?


Inspired by listening to life’s lessons …

The vessel
in which our spirit abides
thrives when well tended
For imagination’s aspiration
to reality become
to it care we must provide


Inspired by tending well to the vessel in which spirits live …

What We Tend
What We Tend
One Act
One Act
Action's Assistance
Action’s Assistance

Soul's Well-Being
Soul’s Well-Being

This mortal journey
has shaped & nurtured
each of us in our time & place
to be those whom inspiration rallies
so to ensure dreams come true


Inspired by the reality that what inspires you, may be mundane to me …

Scattered broadly
some to life we may see
others may await who next toil
Whether habits or ethics
what we plant
brings life to what we tend


Inspired by being aware of that which we sow …

Listen
Listen
Horizon Spied
Horizon Spied
Ensure Dreams
Ensure Dreams

Care We Must
Care We Must

Kindness’ investment return
costs little
yet pays back more than
words metrics benchmarks
can measure
Much is accomplished with just one act


Inspired by an economy of kindness …

Intention’s focus
requires doing’s drive
Dreaming’s aspiration
invites work’s wonder
Imagination’s possibility
involves action’s assistance


Inspired by the conversation between deeds and intention …

Into what vessel
do we entrust our doubts & hopes?
Do we pour our fears and aspirations?
Where we invest
reflects well our souls’ well-being


Inspired by holding with care both doubt & belief …
