No More Man to Enter an Army

No More Man to Enter an Army

no more man to enter an army…
an answer to the question
how to best serve?

no more man
the singular expression
no human to fight
in army or reserve

if no one now chose to enlist
what would be the consequences?
what would be the change?
what could be arriving
just around the curve?

perhaps there is a new way
one that now makes sense
peace does not come from fighting
but from calming the collective nerve

let us steer our attention
to solutions that create peace
what is out of balance?
what suffering has occurred?

magnitudes of expression
define the common intent
to bring about peace and harmony
comes into focus from what was blurred

Another Why?

Another Why?

why do we use our imagination
to fill in another’s persona?
is this not our common practice
to paint a picture of who they are?

like a printed wrd that misses a vowel
we can still understand what it is
can we not accept the experiencing of another
without filling in the gaps?

who are we to guess and infill
risking an error of judgement?
and judgement it is when we imagine another
into a persona fabricated from our minds

let us instead feel into relationships
and allow feelings to guide the way
asking questions, curious, respectful
seeking the wholeness of another
and honouring who they are

Extraordinary Means

Extraordinary Means

infinite choices
doorways that entice
now consequences of decisions
are given a voice

marginalized vacuums
always a risk
postpartum shock waves
can spread in the myst

alternative wobbles
can redirect intent
staying the course
is intent that is meant

the holy of holies
present and defined
accessed by the seekers
when they are aligned

precious is the recognition
we can live our true dreams
with alignment and refinement
by extraordinary means
