Wellbeing

The moon sings in shades of gray

Her seas and valleys, alert and watchful

The light from the sun warms her soul

And the dark of night makes her lonely

She rules over the darkness with gentle hands

Rising and falling with the oceans, Great Lakes

Irresponsible followers cause her grief

But those with true knowledge revere her

The rocks fall down as she shifts her gaze

And when they heed her call, they are stronger

The likes of all who offer allegiance

Their gifts they offer up for her welfare

Come, profit from the message she brings

Trust and present your heart for her wellbeing

Liar

Who can tell a straight-faced lie

While some can barely tell the truth

A story told of heartfelt wonder

Grains of truth and innuendo

But what, in truth, does it all mean

This unfolding amazement of little cheek

But what, when it matters, exceeds

The limits of exaggeration, reality

It cannot signal trust and reliability

But all to often, we are asked 

To look away, to ignore the gaffs

Or accept on faith what we know is true

And once we are committed to accepting

We must defend our position to others

And so it becomes a matter of ego

And we must then take it all to heart

Blue Sky

After the storm settles and the sun comes shining

The birds twitter in their warbling perfection

A celebration of the rite of spring

As it slowly resides in the place of summer

No chill to the air, no cutting to the breeze

Just the occasional ruffle of leaves

As the air graces the land with freshness

The sounds of motorcars as they pass by

Someone mowing their lawn a long way away

Taking the time to clean out the car

And then, while playing in the hose

Adrift to wash the car itself

And revel in the suds as they wash

No sign of a storm today, thank you, blue sky
