#Prophesy into the #madness – v3

Power within our minds, our actions speaking volumes;

Be careful what you wish for, as it may come to pass…

Leading us down into chaos blind alleys, closed paths

dead ends we may regret, a diminished, stilted life.

 

Speak to the world, prophesy into the madness;

Be careful what you wish for as it may come to pass...

Altering present reality, life here on earth

absorbed within the ether, loss, nothingness.

 

Don’t roar, don’t thunder, control your thoughts, passions;

Be careful what you wish for as it may come to pass...

Setting the world on fire, a whisper become a flame,

burning whatever it touches, until there is no more.

 

Causing a butterfly effect, echoes, consequences decades later;

Be careful what you wish for as it may come to pass...

Changing the face of beauty, the earth aflame, aglow

a universe, a cosmos, a place we do not know.

Charge him with #Sedition – v2

Charge him with sedition, with inciting the riot,

fueling the insurrection, the war on democracy.

 

Charge him with sedition, with conspiracy, with treason,

for sharing the Big Lie, that the election was stolen.

 

Charge him with sedition, with stoking the fires,

denying the truth, attacking the constitution.

 

Charge him with sedition, with all the crimes committed;

Do not let the guilty get away with murder.

 

Charge him with sedition, don’t wait, hurry;

Democracy is in the balance, the crucible, in this test.

#Terminator is a #documentary – v3

Think about it for a moment

coming out of the pandemic

computers taking over

Facebook knowing your searches,

autonomous cars driving,

drones, smart watches,

computers in everything

now smart homes.

 

Dystopian America,

divided government, different camps,

ransomware attacks

computers taking over,

so much of our lives usurped,

so much they know already,

our likes, our wants,

our locations, the turns

for where we are going.

 

Terminator is a documentary

telling our story, our days,

the steps we are living

in the screenplay, the script;

our future is already written

computers getting smarter,

taking over, surely,

living in the end times

before Skynet comes to life.

#Saturated with New #Color – v2

Seemingly wet, alive

dripping, overflowing,

saturated with new color,

each flower giving, sharing,

pouring out, into the wings

of the regal swallowtail.

 

More than painted,

much more than reflected,

dripping with living color

transferred in the instant,

the moment it lowered,

landing on each bloom.

 

Momentarily truly different,

the butterfly changing,

infused, permeated, dripping,

immersed in the liquid color,

the wings of the morning

the butterfly more than a canvas.

 

Living color moving

a chemical transfer

from flower to its wings

alive and enduring

so powerful, living,

in my memory.

I was really struck by how saturated the

wings of the butterfly were by these colors,

from the flowers it landed on, not just

as if it was reflected onto the outside of the wing
but as if it was infused into the wing itself,

changing its very color for the moments

in time it stayed on each flower.

Infused with Their #Color – v2

A yellow swallowtail

catching my attention

elegant butterfly moving

dancing on the humid air

flitting within the garden.

 

Alighting, resting,

perching on each flower

standing on the skin of water

the sun shining brightly

on every bloom, alive.

 

Infused with their color

soaked in their wings -

yellow of the zinnia,

pumpkin of the marigold,

the blaze of the lily.

 

Color painted, saturated,

in shimmering reflection

living canvas of their wings

aglow, singing Your praises,

Creator of all there is.

a hole cut out of the universe – v3

all of our days were rolled flat
a sheet of buttermilk-biscuit dough
a giant hand hovering
over our days, our lives,
the dangling sword of Damocles
 
a hole cut out of the universe
minutes turning to days, to years
our lives in statis, inertia,
furtively going forward, living,
a cut-off, truncated life
 
the year of the pandemic
locked down, masked-up
lost days, opportunities,
not venturing out, frozen,
in our confusion and fear

a hole cut out of the universe – v2

as if all of our days were rolled flat

a sheet of buttermilk-biscuit dough

as if a giant hand was hovering

over our days, our lives,

like the sword of Damocles

 

a hole cut out of the universe

minutes turning to days, to years

our lives seemingly in statis

furtively going forward, living,

a cut-off, truncated life

 

the year of the pandemic

locked down, masked up

lost days, opportunities,

not venturing out, frozen,

in our confusion and fear

Who are the #outsiders, the #strangers?

Who are the outsiders, the strangers,

those we call outside of our circle,

those we see as other,

unworthy of our love?

 

How can we ever justify

our discrimination, our unloving;

How do we reconcile what we do

with the way of Jesus Christ?

 

Christ loved the outsider,

the stranger, the other;

Christ brought them all within

God’s endless circle of love.

 

How can we ever claim

to be a real Christian,

a true follower of Jesus Christ

when we do not love

the outsider, the stranger

all those we meet?

outside of our circle

Who are the others, the strangers

those outside of our circle

those we see as outsiders

unworthy of our love?

 

How do we justify

our discrimination, unloving,

how do we reconcile

what we do with Christ?

 

He loved the outsider,

the stranger, the other;

He brought them all within

God’s circle of love.

 

How can we claim

to be a Christian,

a follower of Christ

when we do not love

all those we meet?
