for the Love of Humanity -redux

Dew laden palms hang under midnight glow

reflecting lunar diamonds off green spears.

 

soft evening breeze brings forth a dancing flow  

small shocks of light reflect within each tear

 

which falls to earth 

abandoning

its high collective perch 

one small drop at a time

 

cascading journeys sliding southward bound

night’s swirling mist create pools on the ground

 

and with each teardrop’s tiny splash 

an echoed cry through smoke and flash

 

turquoise tattered butterflies stop to view

as clouds dissipate with sun’s mourning dew

 

the path is dangerous but clear

yet they hear the world’s voice

 and know they’re near

 

the shifting paradigm of consciences

will let the light shine on all injustice

 

be free brave little butterflies 

take your wings and expose the lies

 

the soul of the earth has

been assaulted with bombs and gas

 

for the love of humanity 

lay down arms of insanity

 

a global evolution has begun

What a unique time to be in the sun.

Lesson Relearned – sonnet

Blue china broken on the floor

its’ tiny pieces scattered cost

Symbolic price for all love lost

as I watch you walk out the door

 

and leave behind a shattered heart

of broken dreams of what you did

allowed your mother’s heart be shredded

just take your things and quickly part.

 

And for once again I shall heal

replace old bandage which came loose

deceit and lies brought me to kneel

the heartache of tears runs profuse

 

Away you run, your deeds concealed

spin your tales of secret misuse.
