Circular Waves

Circular Waves

a powerful vessel moves from the horizon
a straight line has been its course
it suddenly turns and without breaking speed
turns into a circle with force

waves are created as the vessel ploughs thru
creating circular waves in form
each side of the vessel pushes out waves
as soon a complete circle is born

the vessel then leaves
back on a straight course
the observer is left to see
waves continue to move
both inwards and out of
the circle that was left to be

the circles moving out continue to grow
circles widening, becoming fainter to see
the waves moving in constrict in form
and their amplitude increases to be

a constricted circle that then meets as a fountain
and again moves out in a wave
the very expression of a wave moving inward
shows how inner movement of waves can behave

Open Waters Ahead

Open Waters Ahead

birthed into the waters
open waters ahead
leaving the shelter of what has been known

an anticipation, an excitement
for what this may mean
eager and ready to be

if ever there was a time to break free
of the comforts of what we have known
now it is calling
that place of becoming
we’ve been readied as we have grown

Violence is a Precursor

Violence is a Precursor

violence is a precursor
violence begets more
it is time to erase the past
and begin to settle the score

let it go
it’s not allowed
bring in the light
release this cloud

never in our history
has violence been so bold
pull into our hearts, feel with our hearts
release the memories, discard the old

there can no longer be justification
for a “because” blames another
release the past, there can be no caste
see ourselves mirrored in each other

the brave and most qualified leaders
are those who have suffered the most
ready to begin again, forgiving the past
then welcoming neighbours as a caring host
