#MicroPoetry|February ’17 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!

Projectile’s force
baton’s fury
whip’s fell
palely shadows
power’s true source
In mind awoken
consciousness blooms
worlds change
peace begins


Inspired by power’s truth …

Inside of Self
beyond inner eye
harmony calls
Vitality aliveness hums
Brother Rock chants
Sister Bird sings
To recognise
sight sound relies


Inspired by hearing the unheard …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
In our midst
fear’s mantra rises
March we reply
in solidarity
division’s mask removed
& diversity’s unity revealed


Inspired by those who choose to defend human rights …

As river brook babbles
As leaves flutter freely
Joy calls in shadow’d times
beckoning appreciation & abundance
to reveal potential promised


Inspired by joy apparent …

Awakening’s journey
neither straight nor linear
Deconstruct who we’re told we are
discover who we’re meant to be
courageously begins now


Inspired by deconstructing fables …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
In spaces sacred
tears shed
vulnerabilities exposed
it is in listening that healing offered
knits community tender


Inspired by care tenderly offered …

Without expectation
outcome
gain
or benefit
Love selflessly invites us
to support
nurture
defend
care
for one another
so as one
all may rise


Inspired by care Valentine unfolding …

Compassion Abounds

We are each
vessels blessed
intimately formed & blown
shaped as reflection unique
of a Universe infinite in wonder
& diversity unknowable


Inspired by limitless variations in colour …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
In revealing ourselves
bare laying stories
joy & tear threaded
We begin to see ourselves
as #community caring called


Inspired by stories bravely shared …

Amidst chaotic potential
as fear & possibility frenetically dance
persistent patience inspires strength resilient
to spy promise rallying


Inspired by centre’s calm …

How loud they yell
predicts how high
our knee jerks
In tumult’s uproar
impatience stirs
Yet in resistance
patience guides
ego’s eclipse


Inspired by patience’s wisdom …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
On streets named & unnamed
In moments noticed & unseen
In stories told & shelved
Compassion’s act
unlimited abounds


Inspired by compassion’s narrative …
