Infinity

Infinity

Walk along the mobeius strip

See where you have been

The ambient mist just thick enough

To seem it's nowhere you've seen

The familiarity tugs at the soul

So you follow the moonlight's beam

To find you're walking upside down

Trying not to scream

The road will rise to meet you

When your feet are winged with dreams

The Fates think little of cowards

Courage a beacon that gleams

But remember we've all been here before

And will be, until redeemed

Relay

Relay

Blessed are the bloom and seed

The amazing wheel of life

Vital force arise to need

Though opposing danger is rife

Even as the living thing dies

It casts its future bridge

Ahead and forward the next step lies

In the tiniest crack wedged

Will to power springs naturally

Indeed, is coded within

Living out its kismet eagerly

Thriving, multiplying to win

Why continue the cycles endlessly?

For life is motion, time a river to the sea

Fruit

Things I grow

More nutrients in the morning

Also good at night

After slow simmer

Nourish the joy

As Summer's lease hath all

Too short a date

Opportune

Watch

Think

Learn

Discern

Identify

Patterns

For the futures you earn

How long til ripe?

If you change when seasons turn

Sustenance innovation

Dali's giraffes burn

Grace is sacrificed

Beware for what you yearn

©️🧿Donna Maurice  poem 2020

another monday, yay!

Granted

A gift the universe

Wonderous

Mystery springs eternal

Change as easy as

Twisting the kaleidoscope

And pointing it toward light

Keeping a heart's dream

Illuminated

And the colors vivid

How can you doubt

Fate"s favour?

Elijah's Bitter Silence

Elijah's Bitter Silence

Bitter silence

The violin music not heard

The son's voice not heard

Harmonizing with his guitar

The friend's laughter never again

The gentle rhythm of his hands on 

Sore muscles, easing pain

Erased

Straight up murdered

For nothing

Also not heard

Any accountability for this

They did all

According to policy

So it's ok

I do not agree

And I am not silent

I am cacophony

Finally getting a little 

Representation

Listening for those

Wheels of justice

Creaking

In this bitter silence

©️🧿Donna Maurice poem/drawing 2020

"Any man's death diminishes me

Because I am involved in mankind

And therefore never send to know 

For whom the bell tolls

The bell tolls for thee"

John Donne from ' No Man Is An Island'
