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 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.

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.

At the weakened
Frigid hand
Of winter’s last stand,
Nibbles
The warm promise
Of summer sun.

Let mouth corners
Up and curl.
Let merriment
Gently unfurl.
That’s all
It takes
For smiles
To pearl.

The little lamp
Refused to go.
Morning or no
It dug its toe
And held on glowing
In the snow.

To the fingers of winter
That are still
Gripping hold:
You have done all you could
To prevail with the cold
But it’s time
To move on
Summer’s soon
You’ve been warned …

The rise
The set,
The hope
You get,
As light
