Squeeze It
pick up a sponge and squeeze it
something’s released with the new grip
a tension then ease
a softness then freeze
a muscle memory made
only to fade
once more
as before

ShareWare
I believe you have something to share?
ShareWare
There is no lack
It is misaligned
Abundance existing
tho hard to find
Many live simply
Their needs are few
Their happiness quotient
is high and true
Others have access
to more than they need
Sometimes it is wanting
Sometimes it’s greed
How many clothes
do we have in our home?
Time to gift them?
Time to loan?
And what about eating
when we know best
We live longer
when we eat less
How many of our rooms
are understaffed?
Yet we heat them, cool them
with ‘lectricity or gas
If we fear we’re in danger
of running out –
what of those who
have to live without?
It is time to care
To deeply care
and practice the use
of ShareWare
We have a bouquet of flowers
and now there’s two
One is for us
and one for you
We’re going to shop
Will you come too?
Can you help carry our groceries
and we’ll drive you?
ShareWare
Share all you can spare
Simplify
Support local
Be aware of how
others are living
Awareness ignites
the art of giving
It’s time to level
the field we play on
Draw a new picture
with pen or crayon
Draw how ALL can live together
caring and sharing
Loving and laughing
Reciprocal pairing
If we gave you a dare
it would be: be aware
of how many times today
you ShareWare
Share your wares
Careware
Freeware
Share/wear
We dare

Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis
We are emerging
It is a metamorphosis
Our wings are still sticky
It is the new genesis
We are quietly waiting
aware of the change
Eyes barely open
to see what’s within range
Who has arrived here?
What are we now?
Where are we going?
When and just how?
It does not matter
if we cannot see
Our hearing is muffled
We temporarily be
A sensory being
attuned to it all
Emerging with wonder
Answering the call
The call to become such
as never before
Homo luminarus
with love at the core
