A Dedication

A Dedication



a dedication
to those risking their lives
to report on what’s out there

we complain on how
our lives seem to be
but we have lives
pray let us always see
the suffering of others
and respond

it will shift your life!

Recognition II

Recognition

in a world of abbreviation
of how we communicate
making it brief
we drop the word i
in so many ways
but there is one where its use
is best if it stays

feel the difference between
a casual “love you”
and an “i love you” 
that comes from the heart
recognize the power 
of that personal part
it recognizes the beauty
of another to start
and it feels
so real
heart 2 heart

Emotional Perspectives

Emotional Perspectives

by expressing emotional perspectives
we experience a spectrum of beliefs
gathered together brings us a relief
owning the calm
as a circle not a line
