Monday

The fall of a guardian

 One day,

There will be no turtles.

That day,

We will look at the world 

And say,

The world has become less wizened,

The wisdom of the sea has been lost,

The guardians of the oceans have fallen,

For no cause real, the grossest cost...

The corals are mourning,

The sea bed is writhing,

The whales are a-flutter,

Dolphins are seething.

Who are these toxic bipeds?

They ask, again and again 

How dare they?

They demand, of the earth, in vain...

One day they will rise up 

Glorious in ire, beautiful in wrath,

That day we will cower in shame,

Fearful of nature on the warpath...

And then, there won't be the wise old turtle

To gently sway,

To council and caution and tame 

The pique of the ocean away...

A piece of me

 Every day, as I wake up early in the morning,

As sleep withdraws, and the day beckons,

Tasks, thoughts and todos swarming,

There's one tiny still corner left behind,

Just for you, always on my mind.


When I discover an unexpected thing, 

When I read a moving passage,

Find a surprise shoot or a pretty ring,

A silly joke, a crafty diy, or something else bright

I want to share and laugh with you in delight.


The chimes on the wind or a sudden prayer...

Pretty bird, epiphany or just a feeling

A glimpse of myself in the mirror,

A stray thought that's scary, blunt or brave,

Recounting it all to you is what I crave...


For most things, for me, are not real,

Unless I share 'em with you all cleared,

My best friend, my ship with even keel,

Balancer, sounding board, my scolder, my start,

There you are, mama, always forever in my heart..
