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!

Earth shakes
& homes crumble
Fear spreads
& safe places tumble
May all in Columbia
who suffer in quake’s wake
know care & solace’s embrace

Between sparkle & twinkle
glimmer & flicker
as wave & particle
light travels
dancing from
retina to awakening:
Creation is wonder-filled

We are pulled
through an elliptical
spiral spinning dance
often feeling unmoored
In this moment
breathe
feet planted
centre anchored
now

Beauty abundant inspires
to aspire
beyond apathy & inertia’s stop
Consider:
Seize Now
embracing Universal wonder
that all are awe-made!

Needle to vinyl
Vinyl groove guided
Groove skipless spins
Vibration reverbs
From vibe to tune
What song shall you be?

Sun sets on this day
Night’s sky flickers stars
Our story on whispering moon
She speaks where
we’ve been & might be

Trip the fantastic
Light’ll cascade
Harmony’ll lead
Tune’ll accompany
In life’s dance
you’ll shine
as the gift u r!

Healing unexpected
Awakening unanticipated
We r made whole
in embracing who we r
not the image others imagine for us

As we’ve wept
they’ve sat with us
As we’ve laughed
they’ve mirrored joy
And in their loss
grief leaves us unmoored

On new day’s cusp
Sol & Luna dance
on the horizon
between what’s come
& that which will
With tentative step
we walk

Our tale unfolds
Quill traces words
etching our choices
Ink with decisions dry
What shall they be?

On precipice we stand
Clouds gather
Rain obscures
We know
on a hill long ago
Dreams shattered
& Light seemed distant

The long night unfolds
clouds break, rain tapers
Mourning grief unfolds
& hope distant dreamt
Soon dawn will arrive

We gather
work unfolds
sometimes we ask why
At day’s end
may our choices
energise us to be change
for which we long

Under lamp light
She pauses
unseen
unnoticed
She scribes
our comings & goings
choices & responses
What will she note
about you on this day?

Dusk dawns predictably
slumber signals persuasively
dreams direct possibility
Upon night’s end
what new path
calls?

On paths untrodden
Exiles walk as one
Through forests prime
Dreamers dance together
Upon pages blank
Our story begins

Grief interrupts life
Tears soak agendas
We long for predictability
yet loss overwhelms
& all we have is lament
