#MicroPoetry|April ’20 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!

To feast
is to dine solemnly
reverently & rarely
To feast is an act
collective
so to recognise abundance
in life’s unfolding
with gratitude


Inspired by the ritual of feasting as an act of gratitude …

That which shall be
will unfold regardless
of our doings
Future to be
within us change lies
as intention’s choice
to shape what we shall see


Inspired by awakening that the exterior world only changes from our interior …

With breath drawn

challenge your bounds
so summit meet


Inspired by recognising limits to challenge …

To Shape
To Shape
Feast

Destiny Set
Destiny Set

Choice's Strength
Choice’s Strength

Upon waters heaving
waves cascading
current riptide bound
breakers surging
Those who navigate well
have learned not upon
moments placid calm


Inspired by life’s lessons learned in absence calm …

In a world where winning
is a value too often trumpeted
without reference to why
The key
to win
success must nurture
that which is important


Inspired by awakening to that which is import-filled …
