Falling like a piece of paper - v3

Falling like a piece of paper – v3

a moth startled by my approach
falling like a leaf
like a piece of paper
catching itself, empowered,
again finding flight

curled like a fan-shaped coil
of long pencil shavings
from bright colored pencils
a manual pencil sharpener
held, turning, in my hands

soaring away, higher, higher,
wings rigged, coiled,
tumbling, falling no longer
rising in the morning sunlight
its wings alive, aglow, ablaze

curled like a warm potato chip
fresh from the oil, the kettle,
a moth striking a pose
on the side of the building
many days in a row

curled like pencil shavings - v4

 curled like pencil shavings - v4

curled like a dried leaf

wicked of its moisture

rice paper, cardboard,

a sail, bent, turned

wrapped around the axle

curled like a fan-shaped coil

of long pencil shavings

from bright colored pencils

a manual pencil sharpener

held, turning in my hands

curled like a warm potato chip

fresh from the oil, the kettle,

a moth striking a pose

on the side of the building

many days in a row

become like rice paper - v2

become like rice paper - v2

each bloom of the lily
still beautiful, calling,
become like rice paper,
all texture and hew…

dried of moisture
wicked of its essence
a living shell remaining
protecting the kernel within

living, aged, beauty
like old crumpled linen
each trumpet curled inward
hope growing within

We must embrace the #Truth

 We must embrace the Truth

We must embrace the truth;

the lies cannot continue;

Now is the moment

when democracy matters

Truth, justice matters

our freedoms are in the balance;

The Big Lie must not stand;

We must not be complacent.

Too much is at stake

our democracy, our freedom.

We must speak truth to power;

We must not be loyal to a false prophet.

We must stand in the gate

defending democracy, our freedom.

The #wise #foolish - v2

 The wise foolish - v2

the wise foolish

an ancient story

weakness, the flesh

our stumbling block

the wise foolish

Solomon’s bad choices

not heeding the warning

the eternal wisdom of God

the wise foolish

listening to the voices

to the flesh, to passions,

to the things of this earth

the wise foolish

learning the hard way

failing to be obedient

to the living Word of God

#Wisdom of our #Mothers - v2

 Wisdom of our Mothers - v2

Wisdom of our mothers

each Lady Wisdom

imparting wisdom

to our loved ones, to others

Wisdom conveyed

from the word, experience

heeding instructions

for dangers abound

Wisdom imparted

but on the others

to obey, to listen

to lessons in life

Wisdom the hard way

experience, caution

burned for ignoring

our mother’s voice

Wisdom calling

each Lady Wisdom

teaching us, warning

danger on the way

Entrust them to God

 Entrust them to God

share wisdom

to loved ones, to others

speak your experience

God’s truth

but don’t hold onto

loved others, others

when they do not heed

wisdom, the truth

entrust them to God

give our loved ones to Him

sharing wisdom with them

but letting go

they too must learn

the lessons the hard way

entrust them to God

the source of all life

Warning of dangers

 Warning of dangers

Imparting wisdom

to loved ones, to others

warning of dangers

from experience,

wisdom the hard way

getting burned on the stove

though warned of the dangers

learning the hard way, lessons

consequences from our choices

our journey, our days

To dance in the clouds - v3

Too often tethered to the earth
to my flesh, my burdens,
not seeing my why, my purpose
lost on my path, my way,
seeing only darkness

Wanting to dance in the clouds
rising from the earth
to gather wings to me
to shed my fears, my chains,
to sing with abandon

Wanting to strive, to reach
for my dreams, my vision
my calling in the clouds
soaring, unburdened,
joyfully, with abandon

Released from my fears
unchained, unshackled
living into my future
believing in God’s gifts
my life of abundance
