#MicroPoetry|April ’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!

May Light so shine
even as shadows gather
it is in the #poetry of word
I see you in me & me in you


Inspired as a response to orthodoxy …

We rage as horror threatens
to anger’s dehumanising tempt
Harness primal compassion
& healing’s promise beckons …


Inspired by compassion’s response in violence’s midst …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
In each direction
on reconciliation’s walk
wisdom fourfold invites
blessing’s transformation


Inspired by reconciliation’s healing journey …

Doubting dreams
skepticism’s symptom
It is in insecurity
imagination inspires innovation
& barriers boldly bridged


Inspired by potential’s petition …

#Leadership aspires to inspire
When I become You
& You becomes Us
We transform
potential = possibility
dreams = Now


Inspired by appreciative leadership …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
For some
dark clouds shroud
Others
skies brightly beckon
To each
how might we
blessing be?


Inspired by rainbows seen in clouds …

Humour
liberates or enslaves
perpetuates or redeems
Words we employ
intention’s course
freedom or captivity
navigate


Inspired by humour’s paradox …

Beyond ‘ism or ‘ology
structure or text
creed or rite
faith Creation threads
that which binds
tender touch reveals


Inspired by abundant similarities …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
Alone we wander
seeking
wanting
longing
In community
place becomes home
space becomes sacred


Inspired by transformation in community …

Breathe my breath
hear your wisdom
tenderly hold the Other’s touch
In circle wide drawn
as One
we are well knitted


Inspired by democracy’s potential …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
In royal purple light
we are Love Divine bathed
In embracing such blessing
May blessing we be


Inspired by prophet’s passing …

In that moment
in which words fail
harmony halts
& brush strokes falter
Our only recourse
is wonder wide-eyed awe


Inspired by stars’ gazing …

#StoryTime
Life’s narrative
imagines characters
nimbly responding
amidst ambiguous vagary
In this plot
who are you?


Inspired by story’s imagination …
