When life envelops
What will be
In cloaks of misty
Mystery
And fog,
Hold on
To the soft promise
In the droplets
That infuse the air
With fractionated light
And hope
For verdure
And potentiated growth.

On gloomy days
That sap the light
And leave your soul forlorn
In life’s overcast,
Remember:
Above the darkest, densest clouds
Still shines
The brilliant sun.
For The Daily Post
May the bud of hope bloom on
To flower large
Inside your heart
And set your soul to blossom
Wide
Throughout your mind.

While life streams by in flows of odd
And change evolves
Or roils
Or frightens,
Some truths remain forever uniform:
Love holds
Hate shatters,
Reason wizens
Division splatters,
Hope grows
Care matters.

There is more good than bad in our world,
yet often bad shouts louder.
There’s more that’s beautiful than not,
though ugliness might steal the hour.
Love holds truth far more than hate,
and radiates the brighter.
So … be mindful of the disproportion …
as dark creeps in to dim what’s lighter.
And know:
Hearts will out-sing cacophony when led by hope,
even if fear may prowl the farther.

We all need reprieve
From war
From cruelty
From violence
Driven by power
Urged by greed.
We all need reprieve
From sorrow
From loss
And worry
A release
From need.
May we reach out in care
To spare
Another
And let decency
And hope
Be freed.

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
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.
