At awe at the glory
Of a nature so generous
It overspends
Overnight
To bedazzle all eyes
In prolific defiance
Of time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 in all that
Fills your heart
And makes your spirit
Sing.
In all that makes
This world
Your home
And offers
Hope
To bring.

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.

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?
