Poetry to Inspire You
Fragmentally Inept
as an island unto oneself
one is fragmentally inept
but we have a common foundation
and come from the same source
to understand wholeness
is to recognize each fragment
has a beauty, and sacred duty
to shine forth in its supporting role

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?
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
