Renewal

Renewal

stillness and beauty
quiet and calm
a retreat into emptiness
where love is the soul’s balm

regenerative powers
take over to heal
seeking out the damaged
the obsolete and unreal

spine seeking freedom
cellular memories erased
an aura igniting
from that sacred inner space

a time of renewal
until all is complete
readying to enter into
the new world we all seek

Change as an Art Form

Change as an Art Form

still unable to write
but at least to begin
the gift of the fevers
brought an enchanted vision

three nights in a row
in a blurred concept of time
the same vision appeared
of what was a popular past time

it felt like they were sisters
or sometimes like friends
sometimes with men
a gathering of artists

little tablets were painted
the size of recipe cards
a magical material
that almost painted itself

always there were flowers
simple scenes of such beauty
all represented change
perhaps season, perhaps colour

each scene was to represent
something very present
only to be replaced by the next artist
with a version after time was spent

a vision that arrived outside of time
always
always capturing the beauty of change
showing us change as an art form

Amassed

Amassed

the amassed good fortune
of humanity’s treasures
goes to the very heart of
being able to love
beyond measure

and yet there is suffering
of those we can’t reach
who are lost in the control
of the ones who preach
inequality

may this be the year
when we move beyond fear
may we seek to define
love
joy
peace
and gratitude
as the elements of creation
bringing us into right relation
with all that is
