Though time may be traversable
& flight possible
Heroes arise
when dignity’s guardian
awakens the Other to shine
As borders banter & politics politic
children solace long & freedom seek
May liberation’s hope
begin at beach’s edge
Amidst failure
learning seeds potential
Potential’s promise
roots possibility
In possibility
that which can’t
can
Fear & fret flitter
distracting & distancing dreams
Courage & care cultivate
generative & gallant reality
Bravely be
In tempest’s wake
prepared & equipped
surprised & stunned
that which was
nevermore:
& change transformation beckons
Good Morning #Winnipeg
On Seasons’ cusp
as life & death
harvest & fallow dance
May we give freely
& share radically
On terran shore
embracing stellar light-filled field
awed humility dawns
May we care for
tenaciously fragile Creation
Fear grips
frantic search
Tragedy reveals
incomparable horror
In unimaginable loss
tenderly
may we hold one another
As podiums spar & microphones jostle
stomachs grumble & addiction hobbles
May we respond & nurture dignity’s promise
Good Morning #Winnipeg
In the day’s noise
isolation threatens
In the still’s paradox
the promise of connexion begins
In sorrow’s deep darkness
Poet deeply breathes
In joy’s mirthful play
Poet dances
As we life journey
alone
we are not
Hearse departs
in deep sleep we’ll lie
& behind
not following
nor trailing
no U-haul
What then shall be your legacy?
On #labyrinth’s threshold
where one has been
& where one might go
unlimited #potential hovers
With breath drawn
Begin
To the past
oft we stare
dreamingly dressed nostalgia
Yet what is
attention pleads
so what shall be
will surely shine
On journey’s river
ripples cascade
choices require
intention’s attention
as you in you
connects me in me
& we are we
Your reflections are most welcome!
