with Storms swirling
and Tides twirling
and Winds whirling
and howling around
and within me
(less like growling
wolves and more
like scowling serpents)
leaving me worrying
with fears flurrying
and regrets roaring
not only about
the chaotic countries
and catatonic churches
but our constructs
as a whole
(along with our
wholly haggard Home)
grumbling and crumbling
their way to
extinction and destruction
a solitary Seagull
came soaring by
without a care
on the fly
followed amazingly by
a rebellious Rainbow
on a dare
sneaking Its way
into the Sky
which caught me
off-guard and open
to surprising Wonder
(amidst uncertain weather
and threatening thunder)
and a Space
to mindfully remember
and prayerfully ponder...
with a safe
and Sacred Companion
ever-present to hear
my tearful confiding
why am i
still fearfully hiding?
in the midst
of the unceasingly
virulent (even violent)
polarizing and demonizing
abounding in propaganda
surrounding our deciding
why aren't i
just Peacefully Abiding?
maybe if i
allow the Storms
to simply be
and Breathe more
deeply and fully
through my fearing
a Cosmic Clearing
may Silently remove
my fearful blinders
as a reminder
that the River
is always flowing
to the Sea
(and the Sea
refuses no River)
and the Wind
drives detritus away
even as It
lifts Seagulls up
(and also Spirits)
into the sweet
By and By
and the Light
(of the World,
in the Sky)
is always there
behind the grey
beyond the fray
and through our
worries and fears
It always Appears...
Thanks.
