MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Survival’

knockout beauty
agile and vibrant
a gazelle stotting
from her hideout

sensing a predator
all legs up in the air
speeding for safety

being a vegetarian
choice of light meals
dry land with no water
gives her extra strength

stamina of a runner
body of a goddess
this time she escaped

alive

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Belonging’

belonging to a like minded group
gives us a sense of purpose

stability under our feet

and an assurance
that our life choices
are acceptable
and ok

such a group provides
the environment
of safety

it is a backbone
of our life structure
the proof that
we belong
here
