Peace Signs

Oh, air
Be the mouthpiece
Speak trouble to trouble
Love to love

Circle round treetops
Salute the sun
Bid the grey-skies goodbye
Fill up the space inside our lungs forcing the silence to sing

Lovesongs again

Burst through perceived blockades
Hasten our footsteps back home

Wing

It is enough for me, the breeze today. To let it waft over me, and with it, bring a strength.

Beauty and curiosity, like a bleached-comb Cardinal, often ride on such air. This morning, though, wisdom arrived.

This morning, the wind asked for my resolve: A halt to crying over others’ big promises and small feet. The stop to the bruises I allow.

A decision that I am enough. The God who created me said so.

This weekend, a storm of understanding is predicted. An Eastern Bluebird cannot be far behind.

Foothills

We are beautiful
You know
Out here looking in
But were we 
In there looking out
I doubt
We’d see it 

We’d worship
Screens and glass
Belongings and
Our own stale air 
But out there
Out here
We are beautiful

Anymore

Was that photographed tree
Standing strangely tall above the tree line
An old soul of a sapling
Was he?

Were the smallest birds smart
Drawing near to his clear air up there
Beckoned by his branches -come, play!
Were they?

Will people seek solace 
Called by common-ground conscience
Hearing his cry -come up high!
I cannot ask anymore
