Parable

Parable
the stories be told
that we might understand
examples are useful
to bring a truth home
it is our own presence
that we can’t always see
so to be reflected by others
we can expand what we be
seen thru the eyes of another
a mirror of sorts
we soon recognize
we have the same eyes
both looking thru them
and then we surmise
we are as one

Sparkles Appearing

Sparkles Appearing
in an obscure corner a flash appeared
a bright flash
a metallic blue splash
and then it was gone
it was not a reflection
it was not a flame
a mysterious presence
gone as quickly as it came
what we are seeing now
in our very own homes
is the appearance of
the garden gnomes
they’ve returned to remind us
they are here to guard
Mother Earth’s  treasures
that they protect and hoard
they would describe their work
as being below board
hidden, mysterious
dedicated towards
preservation
what is within the Earth
cannot be disturbed
our mining and extracting
has the garden gnomes perturbed

The Source of Anger

The Source of Anger
a story emerged and wanted to be heard
a text was sent out and it was all about
anger
it went out to several close to the sender
an accusation of abuse was the intender
how to receive?
we collaborated on this and one chose to answer
expressing concern and from the past being an enhancer
to the presence of love
shared with another, a wise one, a grandmother
they felt into the message and then expressed how it be addressed
as a new perspective
the use of the word abuse in this text of anger
might mean a basic feeling of
“i don’t feel loved”
it had been an exclamation
a plea to those close
a need for connection
with the importance of most
i want to feel love
one young person’s history
will remain a mystery
but the message had been sent
and we are meant
to receive it
our lives are chaotic, too busy, too much
let us understand, knowing the vulnerable as such
and remember to connect
to love, to inspire
to help build a new fire
a fire within those asking of us
that they may grow their own love
changing this world into an unbroken field
of joy
peace
gratitude
and of love
