Life of Sharing

 


I sit and ponder of all the wonder,

When once was fret and anger and thunder.

With time and age, to ease my burden,

Of things too small to worry or bother.


The troubles of life are no less thought of,

Goodness fills more than the other.

With burdens eased with mindful change,

To lessen pain, allow joy to reign.


A wish for all is a change in heart,

To lay down the hate and make a new start.

If only to lessen the madness we carry,

And live a life of peace, more sharing.


Stay inspired my friends!

Beatitude of Turkey


Came from the woods in feathered glory.

First just one, tom leading the way.

Soon was joined, the rafter, the flock.

Noisy gobbling, at distance would warn.

Where next to end upon a table.

Call it gobbler, a tarnegol hodu, kalkoen, moan barang, pelehu, shichimenchō, Truthahn, or plain old Turkey.

Bird is sacrificed, we celebrate the food,

Table full, no turkey alone, true thanks for all given,

From feathery beginning, to the corn, the cranberry.

Our family to all, here or there, cheers to your Thanksgiving.


Stay inspired my friends!

He Came, She Sat



Willie came and Willie went,

Even with his crooked bent.

One eye it was closed,

For how long, no one knows.

Yet Willie came and Willie went.


Ethel stood and Ethel sat,

She sometimes lay down on a mat.

Had an ear, was oh so deaf,

Was even hard to hear her breath.

Yet Ethel stood and Ethel sat.


Willie came and Ethel sat,

One eye, one ear, and love did chat.

Two perfect people sharing a moon,

Hearts together, beating in tune.

Yes Willie came and never went.


Stay inspired my friends!

Winters Divide

 

The day is cool but humid breezy,

Closing days of autumn nearing.

To sit and wish against the change,

Each leaf it falls to winters calling.


Nature speaks with change of season,

Bending to the inevitability.

Winter comes, we wish for warmth,

Too soon to sit beside the hearth.


 Plants and animals adjust in tune,

As humans fight in divide and gloom.

As life goes on with winters hold,

Can mankind solve our bitter cold.


Stay inspired my friends!
