Collecting Change

Awake! Waking in calm is a blessing.
Mind – ready. Body – willing. Lungs – breathing.
Simple beauty can be easily seen.
The world turns as it should and the birds sing!


Other times, the penumbra covers sight.
The song is deep and jaded with a sting.
It poisons our views, killing us slowly.


Breathe now. Release the things to which we cling.
Understand the anger. Feel unsheathing
And join in protesting the hate machine.
Hate to hate breeds hate. Love wins by loving.
