Poetry to Inspire You
Vote in the New
i have cast my vote
and given hope
to the youth and times beyond
our future sakes
have lots at stake
and the young must lead the way
confident and clear
know they will steer
a course so all may thrive
they are the new
and are here to do
old ways no longer apply
given our support
as their cohort
we’ll not just survive
we’ll thrive

Party of One
a parable perhaps
or so it becomes
this time of recognition
the power of one
one opportunity
as never before
to know we’re empowered
and to open that door
the door to our future
of all it can be
asked to self-isolate
to know singularity
physical isolation allows us to be
simplified to the core
and in many ways free
free to play in a child-like way
using our imaginations
in a playful, no rules way
imagine our future
the way we want it to be
imagine the details
until we very clearly see
the intricate parts
the movement, the systems
the harmony, the beauty
the multi-dimensional wisdom
then bring it all home
and no longer alone
connect to our soul group
by internet or phone
those who will share our excitement
connected thru the heart
inviting them into our story
a togetherness start
with our creative one mind
our passionate one heart
we will build from that future
and celebrate this new start

Survival
the reality is
we recognize that
the world has changed
is there no going back?
to simplify
to pull within
to what really matters
to re-begin
empty out
the worry and pain
there is a child within
for us each to reclaim
curiosity
and loving kindness
a playful spirit
an open-mindness
the beginner’s mind
the desire to play
the creative genius
bring them back today
