#MicroPoetry|December ’16 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!

How we long to be right
to be truth’s bearer
Yet …
it is in silence-She speaks
in listening-hearts soften
in paradox holding
we change


Inspired by paradox’ potential …

Tale weavers
in narrative cyclical
us/them-right/wrong-antagonist/protagonist
Some thrive
others strive
In a moment
what if
they became we?


Inspired by hope in polarity …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
Snow falls
water freezes
sun retreats
As fallow ground
Sabbath models
How shall we wait
reflect
act
to nurture anew?


Inspired by fallowing posture …

One story
a rock I stand
alone
isolated
independently imagined
Another tale
as roots we bind
separate
intertwined
mutually mediated


Inspired by how we are & might be …

We resist
deny
object
Yet in letting go
hearts open
hands unfurl
compassion guides
We witness others needs
& in releasing
one another lift


Inspired by illusions revealed …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
Doubt not
you are meant
brightly blaze
Fear not
you are meant
joy ignite
Be not afraid
we are meant
light bear


Inspired by shadows’ mirror …

Beyond the Now & insistent gratification
to When they inherit from us
how might wisdom nurtured
foster humility’s foresight
of legacy passed


Inspired by rashness harnessed …

One Another Lift
One Another Lift
We
Mutually Mediated
Mutually Mediated

Paradox Holding
Paradox Holding
Letting Go
Letting Go
Nurture Anew
Nurture Anew

Fright’s fear
detracts dread’s wisdom
Each emotion
illumines learning paths untried
Deny that which we feel
diminishes that which we may be


Inspired by fear as teacher …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
In Holy Days’ walk
competition’s purchase
distracts Season’s promise
With deep breath
as let go
know you are enough


Inspired by being enough …

Hurt’s harm tenaciously tempts retaliation’s response
Replicating which was reproduces which is
To nurture what will
in letting go begins


Inspired by letting go …

On day’s dawning
when Awakening beckons
seek space sacred
where harmony focuses
intention’s attention
to recognise in you stars shine


Inspired by Christmas Eve …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
In Season Holy
as new life dances amidst shadows long
May dawning awaken
that in you is me
in me is you
#WeAreOne


Inspired by Christmas …

Light Bear
Light Bear
#WeAreOne
#WeAreOne
Stars Shine
Stars Shine

Learning Untried
Learning Untried
Legacy Passed
Enough
Enough
