The Anthology of Naught

The Anthology of Naught

the poems keep streaming day after day
yet their publication has come to naught
why has this happened?
what are we being taught?

the timing, more rhyming, the desire to share
perhaps simply seeking someone out there
who is gifted and organized and has time to do
perhaps this poem is being written for you

no rhyme or reason for this anthology of naught
it is a puzzle to be solved, one in which we’re caught
perhaps asking these questions
will bring the answer that is sought

The Eclipse of Humanity

The Eclipse of Humanity

some have observed a total eclipse
only a small ring of light danced ‘round the lips
thankful for the light that still allowed movement

light shining from those who had worked on self-improvement
what happened in the darkness that hid the pollutants?

behind the full moon much was going on
with the absence of light there raged a mighty storm
emotional havoc of anger and fear
misunderstandings were engaged and locked in full gear

how were we to steer back into the light?

there can be no judgement of who did what and when
there is only the sadness of the results of this din
how can anyone kill in revenge?
are others so different?
well that all depends

mastering the art of self-care and love
lets every individual grow into becoming aware of
ife being so precious and honouring it as such
to honour others as ourselves is not asking too much

the differences can be named as different perspectives
each lives influenced by their life journey’s directives
to see thru the eyes of another can help
and to feel their emotions just as they’ve been felt

communication must be from heart to heart to heart
it takes but one to want to be the start
forgiveness is a must for thru forgiveness we then trust
the past will not last  nor will its shadow be cast
on our future beyond

the art of forgiveness
acceptance we were wrong
all of us
for in one world we belong

Warnings

Warnings

how often do we receive
a warning or a threat
that we are running out of time
and that we will no longer get
an opportunity or a continuation of service
why is this done
and what is the purpose?

perhaps a simple alert
but it follows the tract
of triggering our fear
and the emotional impact
is important to be aware of

if we don’t pause to reflect
on what we are feeling
we can make impulsive decisions
that have a way of revealing
vulnerability to temptations
that make us feel better

stop
feel
and listen

and then with inner permission
make our decision
