#MicroPoetry|December ’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!

In gauntlet’s guide
challenges arise & obstacles appear

what wisdom awakens within us?

in chaos’ illusory maelstrom
Wisdom is ever revealed
For in each moment
