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!

As twine binds bale
doubt dreams constrict
fear imagination fastens
In fright’s anxious shade
light promise glimmers

Inspired by the number eighteen …

In the sand
lines draw
boundaried binaries
good & bad
right & wrong
As ambiguity arises
may diversity’s lens guide

Inspired by the number nineteen …

Sun meets new horizon
shadows & light embrace
In dance’d pause
waiting’s pending potential ponders
purpose’s passage

Inspired by the number twenty …

Amidst
no’s
can’t do that
never been done
rebellious creative spirit walks
with mischievous smile
possible reveals

Inspired by the number twenty-one …

On shoulders we stand
spying beyond them
yet not as far
as they who shall follow
May choices now
generations nurture

Inspired by the number twenty-two …

Good morning #Winnipeg
In isolation’s tale
division dare dance
As Poet story retells
in hands held
alone we are not

Inspired by the number twenty-three …

As spring budding branch
blesses playful passing cloud
We together anoint
diversity’s dream
as rainbow hands enfold

Inspired by the number twenty-four …

As mote’d eye
obscures wonder’s grace
So too judgement
fragments healing invitation
In letting go
liberation invites

Inspired by the number twenty-five …

In reflection’s time
love hubris humbles
In action’s moment
love compassionate grounds
In life’s unfolding
Love Is

Inspired by the number twenty-six …

For those
who wield sticks
& who laws craft
power dehumanise tempts
In privilege’s place
mercy compassion invites

Inspired by the number twenty-seven …

Life eternal whispers
Choices now
bind what shall be
Intention’s focus
tomorrow’s fabric threads
children yet to be

Inspired by the number twenty-eight …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
The world to which we aspire
where diversity’s dignity delights
in this day’s decisions dawns

Inspired by the number twenty-nine …

Upon shared path’s purpose
toward aspiration’s goal
how might passion
balance seeking
embrace dedication’s wisdom?

Inspired by the number thirty …

Universe inhales
Poet, Holy Mystery, Parent or El
Names innumerable countenance alight
In metaphor
as One
we exhale

Inspired by the number thirty-one …

Wisdom’s revelations
reveal’d in wistful play
meditative prayer
mindful reflection
ever toward awakening
she guides

Inspired by the number thirty-two …

In narrative mundane
temptation strips everyday awe
With eyes wonder-wide
in our reflection
Connexion’s promise lies

Inspired by the number thirty-three …

In child’s journey
guide, mentor & Elder
nurture whom we might be
With gentle & courageous care
may we wisdom offer

Inspired by the number thirty-four …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
Hope:
In oppression’s origin
depression’s depth
grief’s gathering
She whisper waits evermore

Inspired by the number thirty-five …

In anger’s grip
amidst fear’s shrill
you becomes them
we becomes us
In enemy’s retributive mantra
may mercy temper

Inspired by the number thirty-six …

Language & syntax
paradox walk
With intention to unite
parsed grammar divides
For in trust
does Word community bind

Inspired by the number thirty-seven …

Habits habituate
Temptations torment
Unconscious patterns perplex
Slavery’s shackle
intention’s awakening shatters

Inspired by the number thirty-eight …

In laugher’s lilt
amidst play’s pleasure
& creativity’s change
Solidarity
division’s dis-ease
treasure transforms

Inspired by the number thirty-nine …

Upon jubilation’s cusp
& celebration’s joining
Trials taken
disciplines discerned
proving passed
Wisdom gently dawns

Inspired by the number forty …
