It is not
The bruisers
Who denote
Importance
For what one should
Obey or discern.
It is the smallest
And the vulnerable
Who call
True attention
To the biggest
Issues
Left to tend.

Is the center of city
Somewhat an unlikely space
To transport apparitions
That seem so out of place,
Or do they
Just like others
Feel at home on this Earth?

Do not fear
The abrupt edge
Of life
When the path
Disappears
And clefts
Into strife.
Take a breath
Blow out fear
Know a brand new
Adventure
Is immediately
Near.

In the days that unfold
Morning rays
Evening’s gold,
What awaits
Up your sleeve,
Still untold,
Kept in trust
Since times old?

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.
