She lights up every room with her smile.
He effervescents joy in a dimple.
She casts love spells all around her.
He melts everyone to a puddle.
She makes your heart sing.
He ropes your soul in.
Their laughter makes right
Glow full bright
From a fizzle.
Their giggles shine rainbows
On sorrow
And drizzle.
They heal hope.
Luminesce peace.
They remind why it matters
We take care
To Insist.

When farce becomes routine
And drama so outruns minutiae
That reason threatens
To abscond,
One cannot help but
Wonder
What’s beyond.
For The Daily Post
When you fret in worry,
Field misgivings,
Try to still the shiver
Of concern
Of doubt
Of qualm.
Take a moment
To get grounded
And remember what you know
In soul, in heart, in mind:
Sooth exists.
It
Lives
Between the breaths
Of Love’s
Eternal
Balm.

The earth, the air, the water;
The sun, the sea, the dust of stars;
The times that passed and built the present;
Things nascent now that
Have not yet become –
All intertwined.
We’re none of us alone
Or separate.
Aware or not,
Collaboration
Is and always been
The only way
For life
Aligned.
For The Daily Post
If your heart groans
Under worry
And your belly
Plays acid songs,
Don’t despair:
Life’s still there.
If your head spins
With confusion
In realities
Beyond compare,
Don’t give up:
There’s repair.
If your muscles
Clench with anger
And anxiety
Sheds your hair,
Don’t give in
To what’s not fair.
If your color
Lost its luster
And your spirit’s
Pale and bare,
Don’t lose heart:
We’ve hope to spare.
If the dark nights
Press your innards
And your lungs
Beg for calm air,
Don’t forget:
Love’s everywhere.

There’s scare aplenty
Wide cause for alarm
A lot to frown at
Much that charters harm.
No wonder
Panic comes.
Trepidation pushes buttons of old worries
Latches through the tentacles
Of history
And ill-used charm.
It glitters daggers
Into
Masquerading stars and sun.
No wonder
Panic comes.
And yet …
Be brave
Stand firm
Lock arms
Form links
Knit facts
Raise voice
Weave hope
As panic’s anti-dote.
For The Daily Post
It is time to be a listener.
It is time to look
And see.
It is time to know the difference
Between opinion
Fact or
Dream.
Yet it’s also time to tell some stories.
Time to let the mind roam free.
Time to open hearts
To conversation
To let imagination
Be.
And it is past all time
To hold compassion.
It is time for patience, too.
Time for kindness
For remembering
The essentiality
Of holding
You
As well as
Me.
For The Daily Post
Sooner or later
Truth emerges
Undeterred
To patiently unravel
Falsehood
And
Disentangle
Reality
From the sticky hands
Of lie.
For The Daily Post
Champion compassion, not judgment.
Hold close kindness rather than disdain.
Treasure connection over hierarchy.
Prize intention above gain.
Cherish empathy, for it will nourish.
Uphold truth …
Remember
Learn.
Protect hearts, and peace will follow.
Defend the weak, and they’ll be strong.
Nurture hope, and it will grow sturdy.
Safeguard the Earth
Where
All
belong.
For The Daily Post
Each multitude
Is made of individuals.
Each crucial
Together forming
Something
More than
Any sum.
