I love it

when you rise

rainbow of colors

orange, pink,

blue and white

yellow burning

through with

delight

I stand on your

shoulders

MotherEarth

bare feet

feeling your

beat

breathing deep

I release

thankful

in peace…

A GLOBAL PANDEMIC

a raging inferno

a wildfire out of control

DEATH.

YOU

want to open schools.

kids falling ‘behind’

need day care.

I want to LIVE.

There is nothing you can say.

If schools open,

it will be a death warrant

for many.

Not your child hopefully

but your selfish demands

will leave other children

without parents and

grandparents…

I am a TEACHER

my choice,

by choice.

I work for my students

I would die to protect them

and now you want me

to die for them

when I don’t HAVE to.

You are signing a

DEATH WARRANT

for an unknown number.

How is that acceptable?

HOW?

 

I know the truth

when I see it~

sometimes

I close my eyes.

I know the truth

when I hear it~

sometimes

I close my ears.

I know the truth

when I speak it~

sometimes

I close my mouth.

I know the truth

when I feel it~

sometimes

I pull away.

I know the truth

when I smell it~

Enough said…

 

Pinkish glow

beckons

so I go

to watch

the rising sun

to breathe

morning air

watching a

rainbow glide

across the sky

I stand humbly

upon my Mother

and whisper

my thanks

for another

day

I will do

my best

to live it

well…

 

Will I or won’t I?

try it and see

can it bring change

healing from within

Should I join up

take the leap

take the journey

if not now~

when?

It is needed

you cannot do it

alone…

tried and failed

try something else

Be Brave

Face the fear

create the dream

take a chance

you can change

Anytime

losing time

stop the whine

thousand steps

to success

try it now

you’ve nothing

to lose…

Begin Again…

Morning light

dappled dew

glistens

on the roses

and the webs

Connections

of life

in harmony

for the

roses and

the webs

each has

purpose

each has

beauty

each belong

and create

this precious

place and space

called

Mother Earth,

alive and

connected

the roses

and the

webs…

 

 

dreaming

of a time

longing

for a place

waiting

on a chance

living

for today

hoping

for a change

praying

for peace

laughing

at the past

letting go

of mistakes

facing

my truth

embracing

my present

in a state

of grace…

 

 

 

I dream

of

dreams

dreamt

Unsure of

what I

meant

stepping in

stepping out

what’s it

all about

scattered

dreams~

look up to

the sky

wishing I

could fly

Thoughts

Collected

scattered

in time

dreams

on the

line…

To live free

to not give

a damn

of opinions

of people

of society

of bullshit

dogmas

what if I lived

exactly as

I chose

to hell

with it

all

we do not

get out

alive

any way

I’m tired

of trying

to live up

to others

ideals

I’d rather

live by

mine~

to live

free…

 

Flying high

sinking low

deciding which

way to go

out of touch

in a groove

wonder what’s

to lose

chasing dreams

losing steam

waiting on

windows opening

clutching dreams

fighting the

fight

nothing as it

seems

holding on

counting down

waiting on

a dream…
