Astonished

At awe at the glory

Of a nature so generous

It overspends

Overnight

To bedazzle all eyes

In prolific defiance

Of time.

Make a River

Make this rivulet

Of hope

Into a river

Of change.

Let a movement

For kindness

And the trickle

Of sooth,

Become a wave

Blue and wide enough

To hold the full depths

Of what should have always been

Self-evident truths.

Notable Moment

In the lush-rush of life

In between breath and sigh

She pressed pause

To take note

What makes special

This time

And all moments

To come.

Do Not Con Cur

In most wretched times

When wrongdoers invade

Do not yourself turn

Echo chamber for knaves.

For the blight

Of untruth

And the stain

Of disdain

Can quite easily infect

Those who would not

Take heed from similar

To abstain.

Let The Lines

Like the breeze

Licking yarn

Like the trees

Upon sand

Like the dock

Seeking sun

Let the lines

Run right through

From the heart

To beyond.

What to Bestow

LandOfGods22 InbarAsif

We may be called,

And especially

In times of turmoil,

To bestow

More light

Than woe.

It may be necessary

To bequeath

To awe

Over righteousness.

To confer,

With our own footsteps,

The high road

Not the low.

The Path Ahead

So many times the path ahead

Is shrouded in the mist

Of worry, fear

Of hopes and dreams

And all that we resist.

Though as we put one foot

Then next

And make the road our own,

We see the vague

Becomes defined

As steps our souls have

Known.

Partake

Partake in all that

Fills your heart

And makes your spirit

Sing.

In all that makes

This world

Your home

And offers

Hope

To bring.

Mallet Mind

As the gavel rises

To speak justice

Let the rule of law

Preside,

So not even an executive

Who feels they own

The rights for pride,

Can by claims of faux and fury

Dismiss

What they would rather hide,

When truth well knows

By sheer behavior

Schemes and snide,

That he had far too often

Lied

And it is past time he be

Tried.

You, Authenticated

Cross AmitaiAsif

What makes you, the real you?

What holds truth to your being?

How do you separate

Masks and screens

From true seeing?

In the search to find you,

What peels off

What is freeing?

Do you take on the journey?

Would it matter yet still

To find out

Or accept

That you’re all of it

Whole,

And besides it some more

Guaranteeing?
