#MicroPoetry|January ’25 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!

In days grey
when words serve
to distract & demean
we must be emboldened
to remember
to remind
to teach
that the Universe
connects us all as One


Inspired by remembering that all is interconnected …

Through space & time
our linear course unfolds
as experience invites learning
In between life’s waves
our soul unfettered
by then now & tomorrow


Inspired by the soul’s transcendence …

As Ferdinand upon the hill sits
to Assumptions’ chagrin
of what he should do
what he should be
he discovers Joy within
embraced by Flowers’ field


Inspired by claiming happiness’ source within …

Sacred Now
Sacred Now
Soul Solace
Soul Solace
Beauty Abounds
Beauty Abounds

Our Future
Our Future

Compassion and its cousin Kindness
are strands that relationally braid us
within the Universe’s fabric
so that we know ourselves
in one another


Inspired by recognising the forces that bind us as One …

In anger’s maelstrom
feeding fear’s fire
calm comes in recognising
that violence’s act
does not inner peace bring
Forgiveness brings soul solace


Inspired by seeking peace amidst chaos’ discord …

As One
As One
Universe's Fabric
Universe’s Fabric
Ferdinand
Ferdinand

Life's Waves
Life’s Waves

There are many ways
words shape what we see
the lens we apply can paint
a landscape of horror
or
when we dawn a mantle of gratitude
beauty abounds


Inspired by knowing there is enough …

As a carpenter ensures the joint will hold
the mason the mortar will secure
& the potter the vessel will stand
we each together build
our future


Inspired by that beauty which we co-create …

Each possession an
illusionary bauble distracting
from our precious gift
that our choice might embrace
if we but paused
to accept the Sacred Now


Inspired by accepting that this moment is all we have …
