day, dusk, night


the Sun shall shine again with a glow of gold and
breath of warmth as the wind will become jealous,
blowing and swirling calling attention to itself despite
the sun’s prominence of yellow radiance and its warmth,
won’t be distracted by a cooling wind arriving with avarice
intent of a whirling and whistling breeze whispering, ‘I’m cool’

then dusk sneaks quietly in, arriving later than on a winter’s
day subtly waving at the Sun to go away and to rest, for it has,
thus, performed its diurnal duty on a lovely Spring day and as Its
dawning of the evening grey arrives, slowing terrestrials playing
asking Robins, Cardinals and Wrens to listen for nocturnal coos of
turtle doves as they praise their stay under starlight of a night sky

someday soon, through the grey and portentous of
the present disquiet, we will again begin our day with
elated spirit of wonderment and curiosity as to what the
day will once again bring, of how the heart shall feel when
the songbird shall raise its voice and lift our morning spirits
when dawn arrives, again rising with the sun and life’s verve   



a 'peace' of 'kind'


when i sit still and quiet, mine ears can
listen to the silence, they can pick up the
waves of what has come before and those
that otherwise i would not hear if i was
not in the present, ‘here’

my heartbeat is challenging every breath,
take in an energy of which both partake
allowing the verve of ‘Life’, of my being,
sprout and challenge the angst of which
so much is prevalent

today, now, the dress that Nature is wearing
is sunny and warm and so i raise my spirit
so that the spirit of my friends and family
can also witness the calm and peace that is
what i feel within

i ask of you to choose the good within yourself
and not the anger or the hate, to, if nothing
more, smile at someone, open your hands,
your arms for a warm embrace, share the best
of yourself, of the Human-Race

can you be ‘kind’ today?
