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!

For branches to caress
sky with green
roots dive deep
tenaciously clinging
to stone & rock

The tale you are
unfolds by your choices
Choices you make
ripple through others’ plot
At our plot’s centre, we meet

Walls line byways
Fences divide highways
With courage whisper Hope
into cracks longing to crumble

Freedom liberates control’s illusion
Freedom’s call reveals beckoning justice
Freedom embraces Stranger’s need

Within whispering wind
Poet patiently ponders
choices communities’ consider
how harnessing healing
plants peace

Into Slumber you slip
In the Dream you awaken
Potential possibilities unbounded
What will you bring into your waking?

Into change
we constantly tread
Into the unknown
we always journey
Stability’s illusion
obscures abounding wonder

Shadows light obscure
Land darkness bound
conceal wonder’s appeal
Choice reveals or conceals
& now choose you must

Fall colours arrive
Foliage lets grow green
Leaves blaze crimson
As earthen slumber begins
how shall you renew?

Seasons’ cusp
moon pauses
waxing & waning
Here past & future meet
Harvest’s autumn night
invites reflection’s Light

Strength’s illusion
conceals weakness’ fortitude
Success’ mirage
masks failure’s courage
Hope subverts & meek shine

Vows hover
Covenants await
anticipating fulfilment
When truth becomes commodity
what’s the Word worth?

Life’s beauty
tenaciously clings
Death’s journey
rhythmically unfolds
From then to now
choices map our path

Rain drop
precarious
eternal
wise
reaches beyond
Pharaohs & Prophets
pointing from Yeshua
to you & me

Words spar
Ears close
only assumptions heard
Without listening
we hurt
harm
each other
With pause
begin again
