Spring

In times of trouble

Spring arrived quietly with purpose

Though bombs exploded and war cries pounded

Spring exhaled and life began to take root

No amount of terror could shift the expanding light

No amount of offense could stop the seeds from bursting

Songbirds sang their songs of new life

On the earth floor paws and hooves alike prepared for new life

Blossoms exploded with fragrance and beauty

And Celebration moved through the trees

Whilst hearts broke, once again, for the human tribe

Natures rhythm moved without missing a beat

The sun rose in the east

And the moon waxed and waned

All this wonder, for the ones who suffer

For the innocent lives ended

All in the name of progress

All for the poison of power

And whilst twisted leaders make tainted decisions with no consideration for the common folk

Ducks begin to nest on the riverbanks

While Squirrels and Raccoons do the same in the hollow trees

Quietly, with purpose

They stay the course

Shock and horror are a part of this world we live in

Beauty and Peace live here too

Both are true

The Wisdom of Peace is what rules this season

The tending to The Mental Self

Here we are invited to fly with Eagle

To rise above

To see a bigger picture

Not to put the horrors away

But rather, to bring other truths into view alongside them

Not to erase

But to bring to the light

With every self-serving decision, made by those who rule

Another sunrise ushers in a new day

With each breath

Life enters our body

With each exhale

We release

Spring arrived quietly with purpose

Though bombs exploded and war cries pounded

Spring exhaled and new life takes root.

Prayer up for those who are suffering in there dark times

May those who can

Be as Eagle and fly high into greater perspective

As we live and learn in The Wisdom of Peace

In this place of uncertainty and certainty…I remain.
