Flowers burst
From the ground
Green shoots sprout
All around
Birds a-chirp
Trills abound
As Spring is finally
Inbound.

Let us deplete
The harm
The hate
So more room’s left
To tolerate
The differences
We may create
As we attempt
To integrate
Beliefs well overdue
Update.

Even in chaos
Where foul mouths and ill deeds offer little beyond
Spin and mope,
You can find and define many glimmers
Of hope:
In the smiles of a child,
In the buds that push up from a freshly thawed ground,
In expanding delight of inquiring minds,
In the light that reflects from a window just shined,
In the wriggling joy of a pup under hand,
In humanity’s goals that your heart understands,
Your soul now demands,
And your words and your acts and your vote get behind.

Awaken to what never should have
Taken place,
Yet had.
The millions
Whose lives were snuffed by calculated horror
Tattooed hate,
Enslavement, and
Smoky clouds.
Remember it,
Because such evil
Should not be allowed,
And yet there are the voices
Still denying.
There are those
Who would repeat,
Who relish violence and
Lament “not finishing the job.”
Awaken,
To what never should have
Taken place.
Yet had.

It is alright
To pause,
To stop,
To dial back the crush
Of too chaotic
Stuff.
Hold up.
It won’t disrupt
Your pace of life,
If you let in a slower breath
That fills your lungs
With calm,
Instead of huff
And puff.

In the furor of fury
Frothing rage
At the truth,
Do not let floods
Form furrows
In foundations of sooth.
Let the foam
Ferry falsehoods
Like the filth film
From swamps,
And find footholds
In facts
Against fear flashing
Tromps.

In the cold blur of morning
Atop a bare, frigid slope
Here’s to friendly warmth brewing
And a good view to scope.

Light reflects
Days to nights
As old times
Watch new heights.
Ancient stone
Understands
Stories fought
Upon sands.
Waves recall
Rise and fall
Of the ebb
And the flow
Of times come
And times go.

The sun
Has barely peeked out
Yet blooms have
Sprung up
Overnight
In rush to fuel
Nectar
With light.

Fledgling stories
Flap immature wings
In my mind,
Inchoate plots
I don’t yet
Understand.
They unfurl
Like the leaves
From a still tight closed bud –
A surprise
For the growth
That awaited
Inside.
