Rippled water paint
Soft liquid cloth
Along the coast,
While boats at anchor
Bob at buoys
With tides’ ebb and float.

She could be
Truly carefree
When she strolls
The fine edge
Of the sea.

When a place of worship crumbles
Into hell of gore and pain,
And the sorrows of the many
Become what connects us all again,
Know that care can conquer ugly
And that compassion outdoes hate’s disdain,
As long as we eject terror
To heed the better, deeper call,
That anything that harms our kinship
Diminishes the very core of all,
Just as anything that builds it
Can lead humanity to standing tall.
For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday

Would you sell your soul
To sorrow?
Would you reap
Hate’s awful gain?
Would you let go of
Tomorrow
So false power
Rise again?
Will your heart see
All humanity?
What will you allow,
Sustain?
Will your soles
Feed earth
Or hollow
Out it’s wealth
To drain?
Will you leave
Your soul abandoned?
Will you let your spirit
Die?
Or will you hold on
To the morrow
In a world
For you
And I?

Sky and clouds
Take a swim
As day fills
To the brim,
And the light
Lets you know:
As above
So below.

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.

The repose of this seal makes me smile … The serene surrender to a nap, oblivious to walkers by; the wannabe-seals of the rocks behind; the temporary real-estate afforded by low tide; the breathing surf that must be humming onto sand; the calm potential for the world around.

Time to launch
Growth spurts of kindness.
Time to set sail
Onto good.
Time to commence
Paths of compassion,
To pitch a better course,
Away from shoals
Of crass and
Greed
Toward a truer way
To heal, succeed, and
Lead.

The shot. The view.
The frame. The framed.
The light. The sight.
The day ahead.
