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!

Heartache & Wheat Kings
dance between nostalgia & remorse
Hip steps courageously into Tragedy
As harmony guides

Inspired by Canadian courage …

We are unison seeking
In each of us lies a note
a part of the harmony
for which the Universe
longs for us to sing

Inspired by harmony …

In choking dust
swirling flame
towers burn
Hope falters
dreams severed
In despair’s embrace
Light dawns in a touch

Inspired by 9/11 …

Siren sings
conform
comply
acquiesce
accede
deny that which you are
Resist & rage righteously
& be the gift you are

Inspired by rage harnessed …

Anger’s apex
violence tempts
changing you to them
me to those
In mercy’s restraint
self-surrender
compassion invites

Inspired by mercy’s promise …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
Equality longing
justice seeking
requires of us
commitment
compassion
caring
May it be so!

Inspired by justice’s river …

Brother turtle plods
sheltering vulnerability’s tears
beneath shell’d facade
Courageously
in hurt revealed
our healing begins

Inspired by vulnerability’s strength …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
Seasons dance with us
as leaves colour transform
life’s journey wisdom seeks
& compassion balance longs

Inspired by seasons’ rhythm …

Upon horizon
vast varied
textured terrain
potential beckons
Tomorrow not conquered
but wonder embraced
& today adventure begins

Inspired by limitless horizons …

Learned words
text memorised
rote academics
understanding does not promise
Compassion
blooms silent speaking
as deep listening

Inspired by listening’s wisdom …
