We thirst for even a sprinkling of peace,
as we reach the boiling point.

The extravagance 
of the season, embodied:
God, wrapped in infant.

He who directs my steps,
smooths my path.
He moistens my parched lips
with song.

These States, United,
looked to the heavens, as one
nation under God

Lord give me eyes
that note gentle lavenders
among desolate grays.

A Mile is Nothing

do not judge

Don’t judge anyone
Until you’ve walked in their shoes
As long as they have.

 

 

BREAKING

Tired of news that
breaks
leaks
tweets
reeks
harms
arms them
imperils us
ends thus.

May we learn by heart
that live is three quarters love
and one quarter “I.”

just once
catch first glint of dawn
chase rise and fall
of moon and sun and sigh
