#MicroPoetry|November ’22 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!

Within Soul’s forge
what we fire feed
shapes belief’s instrument
What we shape upon anvil’s mantel
is a matter ethical
affecting dignity for all


Inspired by belief’s import to the world turn …

Beyond the confines
in which we wrap ourselves
Magic beckons when
we liberated
conjure justice for all
dignity for the denied
& Creation’s harmony


Inspired by dismantling the ways we limit one another …

Though door stands before us
handle beckons release
Structure we cannot see
nor hallway forward
Grasping the threshold
we must open it with faith


Inspired by sometimes spying only the step & not the staircase …

Dignity Embraced
Dignity Embraced
Cascading Harmony
Cascading Harmony
Future Sow
Future Sow

Wonder Reveals
Wonder Reveals

Beyond fingers’ reach
space between
what is & will be
a void richly filled
inviting deliberate reflection
just before the moment
tomorrow we grasp


Inspired by climbing even when gravity tries to hold us down …

At journey’s outset
the horizon we spy
is limited by distance
we’ve travelled
At paths unexpected
& forays unanticipated
our vista wonder reveals


Inspired by revelation that we see further the farther we travel …

Creation's Harmony
Creation’s Harmony
Anvil's Mantel
Anvil’s Mantel
The Threshold
The Threshold

Finger's Reach
Finger’s Reach

Listen not to false whisper
that divine essence diminishes
Upon still silent presence
focus
for in Its cascading harmony
you are to you listening


Inspired by choosing to listen to our wisdom in the world’s cacophony …

The circle of community
holds us when we knee bended
emboldens when passion motivated
expansively ripples outward
so all are dignity embraced


Inspired by those who celebrate the blessing we each are …

Amidst justice’s call
stay awake
As opportunity invites
stay prepared
In change’s constancy
stay vigilant
May we these things do
& so future sow


Inspired by embracing change’s challenge to foster a new day …
