And now
I stand my ground
I’ll not be abused
Refuse to be used
When cheated, short-fused
Way past the blues
Thus I implore you … Do not be confused
This line
In this sand
This time
~ Is final ~

“Earth’s crammed with heaven and every common bush, afire with God.”
~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning
~Ω~
Who dares question power found within the natural world?
The flash of light through monsoon skies, cacophony unfurled
The rapid pace of a whitetail race just ahead of the mountain lion
The movement of the earth ‘round sun or the stars in the belt of Orion
~
Who dares doubt that unknown forces unite to create?
A world of wonder, beauty and a world with anger, hate
A realm in which we each have choice to rise and learn, or fail
A universe wherein each One, given time, doth prevail
~
Who dares disbelieve that every being is divine?
That paths, processes chosen, will finally align
With ultimate perfection, achievement spawned by grace
When all will truly understand the meaning of this race
We call human.

during the years
i spent
in 4-inch heels
fabulous legs on display
I gave
neither
my fifties
nor
my feet
a thought.
Now
they demand attention.
. serious .
. attention .

Each is integral
In the great scheme of things.
And yet,
Simply unimportant.
Vital
To the workings of the world,
While utterly
Insignificant.
Each lily of the field
Is beautifully clad,
Not one is unknown or forgotten.
But pluck it from that verdant plot
And the field looks no more spartan.
The surrounding beauty
Subsumes the space
Another not needing to take its place
The great scheme of things just continues on,
Despite the fact that a party is gone.
Because each is integral
In the great scheme of things.
And yet,
Simply unimportant.

CALMED,
I move forward
In this WONDROUS life with YOU.
While others opt for outlets
I build STRENGTH in what is true.
Despite the chaos we endure,
I’ve built my CENTER,
AXIS,
CORE.
With this, I’ll keep my BALANCE,
Even if you might lose yours.
~
Thanks to GRACE…
I’ll not topple easily,
but glory in gained FLEXIBILITY.
Both figuratively
And Literally.
