MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘War or Peace’

war or peace
tell me please
what is best
it’s a test

flying missile
brings dismissal
superpower
oil devour

push through legal breach
catastrophic reach
instead release
the dove of peace

practice a bit of Zen
heal the mind of men

MORNING POETRY – ‘Unsettling’

desiring change
without undergoing
challenges – impossible

as above so below
the outside mirrors the inside
mind hologram

turbulent times
uprooting unresolved issues
unsettling balance

that is how life evolves
struggle precede
peace

potentially

all depends
are we ready
to ascend

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Anxiety Fix’

joy and calm blankets over me
watching the kangaroos in the garden
chewing on freshly grown grass
the rain certainly helped

the sun is up and its rays warm the air
breeze plays with tree branches
it’s nearing the end of summer
the finish of the mango season

there is much to be grateful for
nature generously offers its gifts
the wildlife is enjoying them
graciously and freely

nothing missing – all is provided
for survival of all species
but humans
still fret
unnecessarily

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘The Christmas Fairytale’

the year comes to a close
few more days of cheer
fill our stockings

red green and gold
color everywhere
display of lights

the hunt for presents
visible at the mall
no price too high

on the holy day
eat drink and chat
little too much

year after year
the same rituals
followed to the letter

anchored in
the collective mind
the illusion of Santa

sleigh reindeers the works
the story that never
gets old

no talk of when
or if ever will
Santa retire
