Freeze

A cold front rolled in to end summer
Progress toward future abundance
Must go underground to find cover
Seeds that have scattered have to find
A place that will offer conditions for growth
Flat Aspect

Shooting commandments from the asphalt
Moses makes an effort to convey
Deep meaning and portents
To these pronouncements of responsibility
His efforts fall flat
Reduction

Blowing shocking icy news. gathering speed
Refusing to yield to assumptions that comfort
This storm is meant to destroy history’s norms
Brace for the oncoming deluge of truth

Ceremonial retreat to contemplate flow
Withdrawal from commerce and trade
Removal of projections of future scenarios
Breath matches movement in time to create
Alternate outcomes become more common

Surface ripples in slight breezes
Do not tell the story of the river’s life
Strong deepening currents flow faster
Carving out channels on the way to the ocean

An essential change in style and direction
Is sailing on the horizon towards the shore
Fair or foul weather, it will arrive in time
Altering existing systems, beliefs, and practices
We remain without the education we need
To deal with this profound mysterious moment

The indelible beauty that dazzles daily
Leaves a permanently altered outlook
In equal measure the knowledge of cruelty
Distorts all ideas about future possibilities

Find the root of transformation
It’s beneath your feet as well as above your head
Attaching you to sustenance and resilience
Your responsibility is to protect the connection
Perplexed
September 29, 2025
How many ways can we squirm in revulsion
With limited access to factual data?
Which belief system has shown resilience
As mendacious talk leads to insults?
Hard to discern what this harvest will bring
Degradation
September 28, 2025
The boat is adrift on a current of popularity
Collective unconscious choices
Drive connections into shallow territory
Corrupt motives go unnoticed
In a sea of mediocre aspirations
Hitting bottom is inevitable
