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!

Upon far horizon
the fanciful & playful
exist as fantasy’s call
Discovering dragons & fairies exist
requires taking bravery’s first step

Inspired by legends of lore born anew …

Upon paper path
from plan to doing
thinking to being
where straight & true imagined
curves & forks appear
yet faith keep
& right path
follow

Inspired by tending a journey faithful …

Upon the shelf
tomes stretch
stories unfold
lives happen in being’s midst
Yet
if the tale you are
shelves not grace
confidently
pen it to be

Inspired by agency to write your tale …

They watch
seeing that what we do
not what we say
reflects that which we are
As children learn
in our doing
our being
what shall we impart?

Inspired by recognising that in our doing we share with the next generation …

Courage’s certainty cascades
into lives where despair
overwhelms oppressively
Hope arrives
waves washing doubt away
in action bravely taken

Inspired by courage lived as a verb in a time when nouns limit …

Habits bind
chains heavy weighted
paralyse choices
liberation promised
In one another
may we
bondage release
one another
to so
freedom sow

Inspired by chains recognised and mutually removed …

Before us
reality’s landscape
threaded
moulded
& nurtured
by choices made & agency claimed
Weave the world
so others too may be shadow freed

Inspired by attuning to the power to reality create …

In us
hearts
wisdom & care hold
insight & epiphany nurture
In one another
may we attend to cultivate creatively
imagination’s resilience

Inspired by recognising caring hearts imagination nurture …

This day or next
yesterday or long passed
each blessing possesses
promises to be fulfilled
potential awaiting release
all we must do
choose

Inspired by recognising that each and every day is wonder-filled …
