Poetry to Inspire You
Exuberance Ignites
the sharing of joy
a powerful deliverance
the audience was asked
“does anyone have a Halloween joke?”
and there from the stands
too small to see
a child’s voice rang out
clearly with glee
“i do!”
no encouragement needed
the two-liner was shared
and the laughter was immediate
delighting in the child’s excitement
what a gift to the evening
so simple, unrehearsed
a solo performance
a star-burst of exuberance

From the Greatest Love of All
you are my children
and if you are reading this
you have had to endure great suffering
you have done well maintaining hope
hope that all suffering will soon be gone
into the beyond
these are the transformational times
stay alert
let no distractions divert
your attention from love
love is your birthright
love is the very fabric of life
feel it, grow it, stretch it
deliver more to all your surround
call in the beauty, the new
it is all inbound
these are times of change
of great emancipation
you are the change-makers
powerful and true
to your very beginnings
you are love

The Green Wave
the green wave rises from the mighty Pacific ocean
reaching the shorelines, fuelling the motion
a powerful cresting, readying to flow
across whole nations, the awakening green glow
choosing a future, a future that can be seen
co-creating for our children, letting go of the has been
collaborating always, so all may have a voice
the leading wave’s edge clearly showing
that green is our best choice
the timing is essential to call in Mother Nature’s force
awareness and taking action, we can change the course
knowledge of the science and environmental clues
can light our way to stability painted in green hues
the powerful voice of our nations, a voice speaking for itself
all peoples, more elders, first nations and students, sharing their wealth
a wealth of knowledge and compassion, envisioning a way
recognizing they are empowered, able to have their say
the green wave is building
and will spread and arrive
to be received and welcomed
on every shoreline
the green wave
welcomed home
balancing this beautiful blue/preen planet
