Anticipatory Joy

FB_IMG_1439076585749

So many things

we do this day

prepare the soil

for some distant harvest

the joy we find in

the anticipatory way

fixes in our blood and sinew

and deeper

patterns that

will live on

long after we are dust

the best of us

shall live

on

A Different Birth

When the children

are grown

and energies re-directed

We learn to apply

theories of gestation

travail

and nurture

to our own

lives

turning inward

we bring forth

rivers

of living water

for the healing

of nations

yet

unborn

Compassion

Compassion within
may be a prerequisite for
compassion without
Cruelty internal
Results in cruelty
Widespread
Out there
and since we know the cut
of fierce self-loathing
at a steady low burn
we easily normalize the hate waves
antidotes are clear
sweet sweet love
within
