Where faith remains in morning’s dawn,
There will not fade
The hope of light,
Breathing
Life
On.

They donned the new suits
Of exploration
White and fluid for
The deep cold of space
And the vast darkness
Of the Universe.
They filed into the
Craft readied to blast
Toward a red Mars
Carrying hope for
Yet another home
In which to draw breath.

Listen to the sound
Of children
Playing
Under the careful
Eye
Of matriarchs,
And the friable
Hold
Of the world suspended
By a thread.
Perhaps there is no
Safer
Sentinel
Than a wise grandmother’s trunk
Lifting
The future
Over her head.

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?

Opuntia Flower (Photo: Amitai Asif)
In the prickliest places
Where the sun blazes hot
And the rain rarely stops
Lays a possible promise
For nectar
And hope.

Treat this world
With care.
The wounds of past
The acts of now —
They are your very
Heartbeat
And weave
Your children’s
Only
Shelter.
For The Daily Post
Today, in NYC
And all around the world
The People’s march
For Climate, for
The world
That we live in
For the children
To whom we will leave it
For the living beings
That need to breathe
And feed
And grow.
One march
One purpose
In New York City
In Paris, London, Amsterdam
Sidney, Stroud, Zurich
Genoa, Rio, Rome
Melbourne, Munich
Brussel, Brisbane, Berlin
New Delhi, Kathmandu, Canberra
Huddersfield, The Hague, Hyderabad.
A People’s march
For the climate
For the blue marble
That holds us all together
On its surface
And that we must hold dear to
In our doings
In our hearts.
Find beauty in the awkward,
unexpected,
startling,
odd.
Find beauty where you thought
it could not be,
or would not,
hold.
Find beauty in the merry,
in perspectives,
new and
old.
Find beauty in the places
where you thought,
there was no
god.
Find beauty in the softening
of the broken,
patiently outgrowing
an outdated
mold.
See all beauty
through the eyes of children,
for they carry
all the futures
of our
world.
