"Poetry, my dear friends, is a sacred incarnation of a smile. Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears. Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul, whose nourishment is the heart, whose wine is affection. Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah."

-Kahlil Gibran,

New Every Morning

 

Every Day is a fresh beginning,

Listen my soul to the glad refrain.

And, spite of old sorrows

and older sinning

troubles forecasted

and possible pain,

Take heart with the day and begin again.

storms pass overhead

we can retreat or be strong

and see the beauty as they dissipate

the war on drugs

this beautiful land

is held hostage by

an inability to look forward

and doing again what we know

has spanned for 98 years

with no end in sight

instead of being stubborn

perhaps we should listen to

the world

Skater

 

She was all in black but for a yellow pony tail

that trailed from her cap, and bright blue gloves

that she held out wide, the feathery fingers spread,

as surely she stepped, click-clack, onto the frozen

top of the world. And there with a clatter of blades

she began to braid a loose path that broadened

into a meadow of curls. Across the ice she swooped

and then turned back and, halfway, bent her legs

and leapt into the air the way a crane leaps, blue gloves

lifting her lightly, and turned a snappy half-turn

there in the wind before coming down, arms wide

skating backwards right out of that moment, smiling back

at the woman she'd been just an instant before.
