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!

Within you
the fire lies
to stoke creativity’s birth
imagination’s aspiration
Within us
possibility’s maelstrom
prepares to universe birth

Inspired by the dance of possibility in which we participate …

Selfless
moments of grace
when what you have
is released
in order that
others may too
Yet
in such care
forget not
to model
self-care too

Inspired by acts that inspire care for one another …

Be gentle
with Self
for within you
splendour lies
connecting me to you
you to me
for within us
Light longs to shine
so others may too blaze

Inspired by caring for self so others shine …

Change’s inevitability
faces us
as breath drawn
cells
worlds
nourished
Exhaled
once life given
now but carbon
In life’s cycle
choice beckons

Inspired by changes inevitable unfolding …

With wonder they watch
often unseen
unnoticed
they learn
to do what we do
not what we say
When day’s end dawns
what will we have modelled?

Inspired by recognising the responsibility of modelling to the next generation …

We are meant to dream
On wings
we fly
Innovating
we heal
Creation
more than fancy
requiring
commitment
discipline
focus
these dreams birth

Inspired by committing to making dreams come true …

Happy
A Call
that consumes
grace-filled faculties
only you
unique blessing
you are
bears into the world
dispersing shadows
with light ablaze

Inspired by recognising happiness as a state of being …

Alone & isolated
for moments too brief
we may so flicker
Together & nurtured
when time freely flows
fluidly from now to then
we so blaze

Inspired by recognising when others are well tended, so too are we …

Upon beckoning wing
change comes neither
only in dream
nor intention
In action’s
courage
confidence
& failure’s midst
such flight so begins

Inspired by pivoting fear into courage in challenge’s midst …

Seasons’ wants
Wind’s path
Life’s unfolding
all beyond our control
In these moments’ tarrying
wisdom reveals what we can change
Ourselves

Inspired by embracing that which we can change …

Dreams
we are fashioned
to passionately imagine
& so create
Find those
who ablaze
keep you a lit
who nurture
the Muse
you are meant to birth

Inspired by nurturing the community that helps you birth dreams …

Freedom
unfettered from
consumer-ridden-doubt
perfection’s-illusion
begins by letting go
With breath drawn
release
forgiveness
for
me
you
we

Inspired by beginning the practice of forgiveness …
