We are

I am one with you
even if you
have done with me
I have no human enemies.
I wage word wars
with ideologies
that charge covers
and put up gates
between me and ME.

I see the Universe
in your eyes
I hear my son
in your cries
my brother
in your laughter
we are before
we are ever after
we are the atoms
of the right now
the eves of today
inside every soul
is The Way.

    Excellent tight opening lines, and great follow through. The war of idealogies kills all too many who think and feel, but centering in a joint humanity is a powerful medicine. Love Diana's pic as well.

    Thought provoking lines...I like the word play specially these:

    we are the atoms
    of the right now
    the eves of today
    inside every soul
    is The Way.

    Profound and well written. Thank you.

    Interesting contrast - apparently between the self arguing with itself and seeing a way to oneness with another/others. Nothing neat and pat here, but pain, and a glimpse of healing.

    ...me and Me is truly profound. What a 3rd eye?
    The whole point of an extra eye.

Reasonable Words

Photo by  Brooke Cagle  on  Unsplash I married my small town There was no shotgun I had a way out & My youngest son was set When faced with a choice of flight & hoping to find you While hoping you would find me I chose love & sacrifice over poetry Truth is though poetry never left Never will leave Moves as I move But I may have sacrificed Any chance with you I was not afraid to risk All my coin on a pitch & toss Then write 10,000 words That makes a gain of loss I just couldn’t tell what was true You seemed to prefer your solitude Aside from that There was a need A weight that fell Upon some I love There was no providence coming Other than what these hands With what I had in my hands In my heart In my mind With my choice This is not to say no one cared It’s just that it’s ruggedly Individualist out here & the trickles Never get anything close to Raising our boats Some wo

The 5 People Who Make Life Heaven

They listen when you need to talk Talk when you need to listen They know your darkness Let you know theirs Without judgement and expectation You can talk to them about how you see things They don't get angry or anxious when you disagree Trust you enough to say what they really think Read tweets and novels Never make you beg or grovel Won't allow it Remind you that you're better than that Lay some of their burden on you Let you behind their wall Feel welcome behind yours You feel each other with heart and mind Even if you don't explain yourself  They get you You get them These are the ones that make life worth living Make you love to be alive Reflect you to you Teach and learn Some days the lead singer Some days the band These are the ones You can count on one hand (c) Ron Kennedy

Poetry Tree

I saw no birds grieve No fallen leaves No branches on the ground None made a sound It wasn’t rotten It didn’t die in a storm Capitalism came In its progress form To take one of my last  Best refuges from me I may be the only one who noticed The death of my poetry tree.
