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!

Today’s light
may very well
emanate from you.
In the choices you make
the path you trod
others may very well follow

Clouds obscure
Rain muddies
In sky dressed cobalt
Joy seems distant
May all dressed in grey
know light’s touch

Violence numbs
Tragedy anaesthetises
Paralysis tempts
In compassion’s act
In care’s choice
May all heal

From dormant grain
rain encourages
heat nurtures
that which was once fallow
awakens with potential
How shall you sow?

We are wired
to dream & translate
that which we imagine
into that which will transform
What are you creating?

Into parched lives
& water barren
landscapes
life falls
Rain fills
longing vessels
& overflowing
the gift is shared

In 3’s
revelation appears
In word play
mystery dances
In stories
logic embraces paradox
In life
joy & loss caress

She bleeds
as we drill
tap & frack
No easy answers
in grey’s ambiguity
& without wisdom
we exploit
she that sustains

Life’s web weaves
that which was, is & will be
As you walk
the strands
how will you arrive
to where you long to be?

Whispering willows waken
Dormant dandelions dawn
Intense irises issue
As rain dresses
new life’s cycle radiates

Clouds gather
& midnight arrives
when sun should
illumine the path
May all who bear light
share it in shadowed places

Our body seeks harmony
in noise’s midst
Our intention longs for equilibrium
as voices spar
May silence’s gift guide

In moments
when time unmoors
the Self is freed
When awakened
tethered to the Now
let not Ego again limit

Hurts sling
Slights flung
We are not kevlar girded
Each of us is blessedly Holy
May we see ourself in one another

Change swirls
Anxiety looms
The right question
of curiosity & wonder
change becomes
not just possible
but probable
