Who are Your Heroes?

Who are Your Heroes?

who are your heroes and do you align?
role models, teachers who help to define
living a life with true meaning and inspired
to carry the torch, impassioned, rewired

take time to devote to and practice such traits
step into the world where your passion resonates
be in the power of love and emotion
fuelling your actions with passion and devotion

blessed are they who have stepped up and done
for they set in motion how battles are won
lead on and be all you can be
meet every challenge, parting the sea

so all can walk forth into the fertile future
bringing their crafts and experience to nurture
each deep inner spark that resides in the hearts
of the many who wait to align and take part

Green

Green

an artist will tell us
there are so many shades of green
and this is what we’re seeing
on the political scene

green is our landscape
in the seasons of plenty
visible in spring on to fall
then winter can be empty

empty of the colours
a dormancy season
yet growth can be indoors
when fresh greens are the reason

time to bring the growth indoors
for there is scarcity now
the climate is changing
and the seasons somehow

grow the fresh greens
and distribute this wealth
a diet of greens
will restore everyone’s health

The Two-Way Mirror

The Two-Way Mirror

the two-way mirror is reflecting both ways
on one side it reflects what we see
the two-way mirror is trying to please
but what’s reflected depends on the seer

do we see beauty or do we see faults?
that is the mirage of a mirror
what we choose to see is what it will be
with sight connected to love or to fear

on the other side of the mirror
there is no reflection, not in the sense of mirroring
what is reflected is within; a response to a truth
engineered by clear sight that’s not mirrored

on this side of the mirror we can see straight thru
we witness what is actually there
how we respond, well it goes well beyond
a mirror image, it’s from the other side of a pair

this is our twin who can really look in
and see exactly how we are
sometimes a shock to see how we lock
into ways inflexible and afar

we are given this chance to really enhance
the ways that we do and we are
to be so in touch with our potential selves is such
an opportunity we can’t afford to bar

a heaviness is here because our vision isn’t clear
our sight must be linked to our hearts
to understand how it feels then nothing conceals
the truth of our co-joined parts

the mirror then dissolves and all this involves
a marriage of our once separated selves
we feel into our wholeness, a touch of the holiness
placing the past where it belongs on the shelves
