Good Morning #Winnipeg
In lit & shadowed corners
fists oppress
words shatter
May we solidarity’s stalwart shields be
Mind touches Body
Body embraces Spirit
Spirit completes Mind
We are divisions imagined
longing once more to be whole
What was:
moment of Then
What is:
trace of Now
What will be:
hope of Tomorrow
boundless potential in paused choice
To serve:
in leadership’s ambiguity
letting assumptions go
hearing what is required
reveals gifts you have to offer
Good Morning #Winnipeg
Whether your muse is
lifting laughter
wise words
moving melody
May we aspire & inspire love
On papered petals
painted scarlet red
memories mingle
sacrifice made
lives lost
may honour
be #gratitude’s response
Upon shore’s line
paused between here & there
what was & what might be
water ebbs
birds call
& reflection beckons
In horror’s midst
carnage’s grip
May we be #compassion
for which #fear longs
May we with #love
embrace other’s #hate
Good Morning #Winnipeg
As shadows swirl & dusk obscures
May we embrace choices tender
illumine dawn’s drawn promise
In this moment
listen not to why not
for distractions
shall always lure
from the summit
to which you have embarked
Worlds fired
by hate & shame
threaten compassion’s glimmer
Agency awakens
our choices that kindle
ever-present hope
Good Morning #Winnipeg
Hope
denies not
tears
horror
fear
grief
Hope embraces
choices amidst
that healing seeds all
Colours dance
amidst days
joyous & sour
Harmony flows
in moments
dour & blissful
Life’s cadence
alone
never we are
Shadows gather
webs crowd hall’s way
pebbled path fog obscures
In exile’s midst
spy
small flame
solace beckoning
Doubt
questioning refines
reasoning distils
When surety oppresses
dissent’s voice
may
mavericks & tricksters
thrive
Good Morning #Winnipeg
Hope weaves
potential’s promised possibility
into a tapestry
clothing challenge’s clarity
Your reflections are most welcome!
