Philosophy

Spring brings champions

Tulips celebrate

While the world

Looks the other way

As children March in mud

And despair…

Easter Sunrise

Pink moon descends

While Jesus’s resurrection begins .

A year of hardship

Around the world

The Wrong unfurls

May the message of love

As a sacrifice reigns

And we in follow, do the same .

We sparkle , we stand

In the light , in the sand

We are strong against the dark.

We are women making our mark.

We sparkle and we stand .

In the light , in the sand .

Black eye peas my ancestors would say.

Eat them for luck on New Years Day.

A spoonful, a bowl they did not care.

Leaving the table , you did not dare .

Black eye peas will sit there forever

As it waits, this new year’s endeavor .

The Eve

The eve of New Year has arrived

The fog rolls in covering the lamppost

The dismal air filled with a chill of a pending storm.

Maybe this is it, maybe the fog will usher the new year.

Maybe the white snow trailing behind it will bed the past.

The squirrels will scamper into the nested trees

The only sound when we venture out will be our footsteps,

The screams of the last murder of crows left behind with hope.

The hope to find the last field just turned from farmer’s plow.

Crunching the frozen ground laid by winter’s arrival,

We are brought into the silence of ourselves

Maybe then, we will think to pray.

Winter’s full moon

Ascends frozen

Among Ice icicles

I woke in morning light

Looked upon the sky

Bowed my head in reverence

In nature I abide .
