Day 283 - Two Options

We can soar to the skies

In the analysis of humankind

Or we can track its demise

Pretending perfection is blind

But faith, too, is blind and pure

No downfall or uprising is secure

Enough to express that we have no say

So let us begin again and create today

Day 134 - Pillow Words

Waking slowly eyes soft and soaked in sleep

From dreams your thoughts dare not yet creep

They call you back to the gentle pillow

Once more to the imaginarily sweet show

Although your head stays steeped in thought

Many old memories are now long forgot

So you stay in your stupor so calm and sweet

Until you begin to feel wholly complete

Day 94 - Circle of Hope

Dedicated to Ravit, for instilling and igniting passion

Circle of Hope

Each stone has a story

A rushing, rhythmic, glowing glory

Of the mountain it used to be

Now washed into the great, wide sea

The circle that you see before you

Let it deeply implore you

To find the answer, in this time

When all anger seems the crime

We shall stand and support the young

For all their songs that are left unsung

Their growth is green and bright,

The truest source of the great light

That will teach peace to every nation

Bringing forth the greatest of elation.

For now we protect them in love

Thanking our lucky stars above

For sending us such wondrous hope

So that youth and joy may elope

Creating the world we all long for

Beginning from the stones' core
