solidarity
let us stand against the hate
choose amity now

Another piece from the past echoes my thoughts about our current world concerns.

Achieving Peace

harmonizing the extremes
by channeling in graceful solutions
the art of negotiation
in a world of bad discourse
it’s a delicate dance
of intelligence and compassion
few possess the skills necessary
yet may all leaders learn those
as our world desperately
requires them now

Solitude

Redux

waking up alone
peace, quiet, serenity
stillness awaits me
one soul, all alone, happy
sleeping by myself again

Around The Bend

what adventure will we have
what discoveries will we make
patiently awaiting our destiny

continued soft sandy, white beach line
complete with more palm trees
to evade the dastardly sunburn

or will a multitude of tourists accost us
drunken, boisterous travelers
noisy, gregarious children

we continue silently
fingers crossed for peace and solitude
a place to let our hair down and inhibitions to roam

winds carrying their fresh scent
inhaling sweet air

a splendid view
draws me in
the calm dark
and striking light
it heightens my senses
yet clarifies my understanding of self
and the world surrounding me
i bask in the connection i feel
nature holding me to her bosom
safety and nourishment extended to my being
