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!

In pain’s midst
tender touch brings joy
In moments of loss
compassion’s embrace
offers healing
In suffering’s presence
laughter guides

Fear equips survival
Phobia reinforces oppression
Emotion dresses experience
Intellect filters perception
May wisdom be our guide!

A Poet’s Prophet etched:
In brokenness
he’ll inspire & embolden
he’ll illumine justice
Then loss’ darkness
& the torch is passed
RiP Mandela

Sabbath dawns
Yet we r distracted
Letting go
to Silence’s embrace
seems daunting
In the moment
with breath drawn
know you stand in the Holy

The night sky
dotted with star shine
Each innumerable twinkle
cries joyful glory
In wonder’s Creation
the ever-present Holy is met

Joy dances in the season of tears
Joy holds us in anger’s midst
Joy waits tenderly at loss’s height
Joy reflects back in the Other’s smile

Love commodified
& commercialised
is compromised
Love embraced opens me 2 u
Incarnate allows u 2 see me
Love embodied celebrates diversity

Love exceeds chemicals’ release
Love eclipses netted neuron formed familiarity
Love is awakening to reality that in diversity all are One

Through Poet’s pen Love dances
A movement in which all lend rhythm
Where individual steps
create a cadence sublime:
A cadence Divine

Love suffers not oppression
nor acquiesces to platitude
nor sympathy pander
Love illumines
even in our brokenness
we shall surely shine

Love arrives …
in moment’s blaze
in time’s silence
Love dawns …
when we feel unable
when inspiration revives
Love is Universe’s constant

Light Divine’s promise dawns
Potential abounds
Imaginations alit
As Hope arrives this evening,
May Joy, Peace & Love
be your companions
