Influencers

Influencers
our world is abuzz
with many a story
all trying to convince us
that they claim the glory
of knowing the truth
allowing others to influence us
is also a choice
when we claim our own perspective
then we can rejoice
it is our own truth
and with new proof
we can change it
freely

Estuaries

Estuaries
we have reached the tidal shore
at the mouth of the great river
all flowing into
the ocean
of infinite love
it has been of lifetimes’ learning
going with the flow
and always yearning
for the place
we know as home
a timeline
with many branches
destined to opportunities
for each experience that enhances
a fullness of what we carry forward
we have come from all directions
we have embodied to bring love forth
as we reach the estuary and the tideline
we empty out and we become
one
as the next wave
draws us into
the waters of the ocean
of infinite love

Campfire Stories

Campfire Stories
since the beginning of time
at the end of the day
campfire stories
were our interplay
language development
ways to teach
humour and laughter
leadership through speech
the instincts for sharing
with compassion and care
are seen well beyond
humankind’s lair
