Tranquil

a tranquil night sky

is now being stalked by lightning –

poking its wild side

Peonies

as the scent of lilacs dominated the space

the peonies were still being fiddled with by ants whose only purpose was to gorge

but in time, they did come into their own

they always do

Us

Lately, I’ve found myself wondering if animals in the wild behave as we do. I watch the nature show, and I don’t know. I often feel bad for the prey being chased. I yell at them to run!

But as that fails and prey becomes dinner and I see how many of them this one ‘kill’ feeds. I then have to remind myself that they too have to eat.

As my thoughts rounds back to us humans, I wonder – what is our excuse?

pummeling of hope –

out and about while being black

taunts mortality

Mask

a season of masks
as ghouls and goblins plot strife –
a mourning dove cries

Cradling Life

shades of anarchy
deep burden on forgiveness –
cradling life
