#MicroPoetry|September ’23 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!

For those
whom we know
clouds surround
Bear Light’s kaleidoscope
Beacon’s Promise
that in turmoil’s midst
alone they are not
as we sit and witness


Inspired by a covenant made visible in a rainbow’s arch …

Our seasons’ cycle
at times through life’s maelstrom
& other times journey’s serenity
Whether amidst tranquilly or chaos
our Divine Task
to grow


Inspired by choosing to move forward in chaotic moments …

Into each day
we journey amidst
joys & tears
learning & rest
And into possibility
yet recognised
Laughter’s delight
sows space to revelation reveal


Inspired by ensuring gaiety imbues life’s unfolding …

Fear Unexpected
Fear Unexpected
Wisdom's Revelation
Wisdom’s Revelation
Spark Divine
Spark Divine

Course Change
Course Change

At times we beauty seek
for respite & solace
Sometimes we see turmoil
& places marvelous create
At times we are hands caring
& gentleness in need


Inspired by knowing we need beauty & when to create it …

As we resiliently persist
amidst mistakes
we do not fail when
anticipation is unfulfilled
It is Wisdom’s revelation
as each iteration is refined


Inspired by knowing failure only occurs when we stop trying …

Laughter's Delight
Laughter’s Delight
Beauty Seek
Beauty Seek
Sit & Witness
Sit & Witness

To Grow
To Grow

Within mirrored moment
as fear unexpected appears
with cleansing breath drawn
Pause
When we exhale
it becomes a teacher wise
as how now to thrive


Inspired by engaging with trepidation’s teachings …

Every creature
winged & gilled
stone & bark
pale & dark
Spark Divine
With tender care
we must one another nurture
to bloom into Blessing each bears


Inspired by the aspiration to reconcile …

From whence we’ve come
a map that traces
future’s possibility
Where we journey
guided by milestones past
is open to course changed
in this moment


Inspired by choosing to steer in a different direction …

    Thank you for sharing these. For me the first and last really resonate above all; the first in terms of what’s going on in Saskatchewan’s legislature, and the last really speaks to me of the invisible but guiding hand of our ancestors. Blessings to you, my friend.

      What is currently happening here is very difficult. I admit I should not be surprised but I am and my heart is aching. Yes: today’s #Verse tried to channel hope without binaries of right and wrong …

        And it did channel very well, I might add!

        I’m sorry for the difficulty. I would feel the same. I do not see how this serves any kind of good. 🙏🏼🌈💔
