What will be
Of the day,
He so wanted
To say,
If you suddenly
Drain
All the color away?
Will the birds’ calls
Remain?
Will leaves still
With wind sway?
Will it be
As before
Or fade wholly
To gray?

Take a rest.
Rest your weight.
Old or new
There for you.
Scratched by love
Left by hate
It will let
The world wait
As you breathe
Quiet in
Quiet out
Soul inflate
Calm create.

It is a sign of the times
It is a heartache due noting
And why all must not minimize
The essential role of fair voting.

Through summer’s heat or winter’s snows
He stony-faced
Nonetheless blows
A flow of life
That never slows.
The step of people passing by
Is all he knows.

Not exactly preventive
And yet he sure looks to me
Like Smokey Bear’s evil cousin
Holding fires to be.

‘Twas the day of a storm
Tide was soon to claim sand
And you sought urgent refuge
On somewhat dry-land.
Not a foot from my chair
You stood near, you stayed calm.
Maybe you knew ’twas a place
Where you’d come to no harm.

In the deep chill of winter
It got caught en route
To a squirreled away
Acorn nuts loot.
Dedicated with love to my Southern Hemisphere friends, on this solstice day.

There is harm in the air
Infants caged
Children scammed,
There are guards
Bearing guns
Tearing babies from arms.
Those before us who fought
For the hunted, the hurt
Weep in graves
As the country they served
Mutates to enact
Inhumane acts
On the wrong tracks.
